Kensaku My friend just to remind my forgetful memory that was mention of Saint-Pol-Roux found in Letters (1884-1910) Jules Renard, published by Le Cherche Midi editor in 1997. It is in a letter to Paul Fort, dated January 27, 1909. Here it is:
44, RUE DU ROCHER-PARIS Eighth
January 27, 1909
My dear friend Paul Fort,
I never dines in the city, except the Goncourt Academy, (he I must. ") If I promise to attend the dinner in Saint-Pol-Roux, it would be with the ulterior motive of sending you a telegram of apology.
I do not think the name is fun to Saint-Pol-Roux, without the presence. It goes without saying that if you still want to name, I will entrust him with pleasure, that thou convinced I will make him intact when I need it.
To you and yours,
Jules Renard
I saw Mr Paul Fort recently. She seemed so young! Poetry keeps you. Prose we age.
you will have guessed that the "dinner Saint-Pol-Roux" mentioned refers to the banquet The Lady and the Faulx be held on 6 February. Jules Renard will not participate but, yielding to the request of Paul Fort, his name still appear the organizing committee of the event, alongside names Rachilde, Paul Adam, Edouard Ducoté, Andre Fontaine, Paul Fort, Charles-Henry Hirsch, Gustave Kahn, Legrand-Chabrier, Camille Mauclair, Stuart Merrill, Francis Miomandre, Albert Mockel Jean Moreas, Charles Morice, Alexandre Natanson, Julie Ochse, Edmond Pilon, Henri de Regnier, Jules Romains, Jean Royer, André Salmon, Alfred Vallette, Emile Verhaeren, Francis Viele-Griffin, Tancred Visan: a damn fine cohort.
Strangely, we do not find the friend Fox among the main signatories of the Motion to Jules Claretie quoted Saint-Pol-Roux In a letter to Victor Segalen. Although he was absent from the banquet, it is hard to imagine the Magnificent not send him in the days that followed, a letter asking him to add his signature to the petition, as he failed to do so for other important personalities : Rostand, Rodin and Schwabe, for example.
Jules Renard, after all, was an old acquaintance, whom he met in the offices of wailing Mercure de France. Then the committee read the Art Theater of Fort friend Paul. Saint-Pol-Roux then considered a "curious character," enjoying "among all those thorns, the original [...] Pink visions could not be more charming. "A taste for the unexpected image them together. Jules Renard, novelist, was a beautiful in its own way, which escaped, of course, not the poet:
December 14 [1893].
Saint-Pol-Roux said:
- If Fox! You are beautiful. We are all beautiful. Jules Renard and Saint-Pol Rufus, basically the same thing. You made what I do comedy to tragedy. Ten years ago, I wrote Firefighters the village, you could sign today curiosities of the same phrases, the struggle of the concrete and the abstract. We start from a common point to lead us in both directions is absolutely opposed. Is not that your opinion? Have not you noticed it yourself?
in Journal of Jules Renard , Bibliotheque de la Pleiade, NRF Gallimard, Paris,
1960, p. 191
The author of The sponger unfortunately did not write his response, he made one. It would be funny, failing, and perhaps instructive to compare some texts of natural Stories poems with the "animal" of the procession Reposoir . It found a common nature: "This beautiful idea of Saint-Pol-Roux trees that birds such as exchange of words" ( Ibid., May 7, 1894, p. 221). But as we leaf through the admirable Journal , do not stop in so good way, and prick on this post the last appearances of the Magnificent in icelui: they will be most relevant to them s'ombrent damalafalcique silhouette.
On April 4, 1897, Fox is in Jules Lemaitre:
It changes the conversation by showing me a manuscript of Saint-Pol-Roux, a piece unplayable, but amused. Roux has written two letters "magnificent". Lemaitre bed of beautiful pictures, but none would. Twould not even words.
- Someone will come, "I said Roux, who will read all this and adapt to French taste.
Lemaitre also said that everything is already in Hugo. It ignores Claudel. (P. 401)
poet, freshly back of the Bulge, then trying to find a theater to its Hospital Dame. Is he the one who gave his manuscript to read drama critic of Hansard political and literary or the latter he received a Director or a theater director - Sarah B. not to mention the point - who wanted some advice? It is impossible to conclude, but still note that the criticism of Fox will join the one that Sarah B. Magnificent in the drama was not feasible, as it is in France. But was it not rather to France to adapt?
Decidedly, the manuscript traveled it is found May 7, 1898 in Edmond Rostand:
Saint-Pol-Roux sent him a manuscript, the lady with the scythe, which the sweetest madness is dotted with talent.
Personally, I do not know if that last sentence was, or Fox Rostand - we only know where it comes from? - A criticism or a compliment ...
This is perhaps what best defines the literary friendship experienced by both men, and the lyrical narrative: a certain ironic distance.
