Edmond ROSTAND (1868-1918)
Autograph poem signed, The Cathedral, Larressore December 1914; 1 page in-4 on the letterhead of the Auxiliary Hospital of Larressore. Sonnet protesting against the bombing of the cathedral of Reims, on September 19, 1914. This sonnet was published on the front page of the Figaro of October 9, 1914. "They have only made it a little more immortal. The Work does not perish, that a scoundrel mutilates. Ask Phidias, and ask Rodin. [...] Let us give thanks to the pointers of the stupid gun, Since of their German address it results A Shame for eu, for us a Parthenon!"
