SAND GEORGE: (1804-1876) French novelist. An excellent autograph manuscript signed, George Sand, thirty pages, 8vo, n.p., n.d. (1872), in French. Sand’s manuscript, with various corrections and deletions, is written in the wake of the publication of Hugo’s collection of poems L’Annee terrible and states, in part, ‘Voici un poete sublime, le poete de la France. Il est veritablement la voix de la partie, et c'est pour cela qu'en parlant de lui on sent qu'on s'adresse a la France elle-meme dont il est l'ame et l'expression, le dechirement terrible, l'organe souverain....,je sens pour lui quelque chose de plus que de l'admiration, je sens que je l'aime...Quand le poete sans rival qujourd'hui monte sur le coursier aile pour interroger le ciel sur les destinees de la terre, il depouille sa personnalite reelle, il oublie son propre nom, il se spiritualise, il est le penseur et le poete, il exerce son sacerdoce, il joue son role, il rompt avec l'usage, il meprise le bon ton, il depasse le bon gout. il use de son droit qui est de monter autant qu'une pensee peut monter au-dessus d'une situation, une aspiration au-dessus d'un fait, une volonte au-dessus d'un obstacle.....Il a le delire sacre des pythonisses, il s'eleve a la manifestation de l'espirit degage de tout ce qui pese sur nous. Il prend une place dont personne ne peut etre jaloux, puisque personne n'eut ose la prendre, et que nul ne peut lui contester puisqu'il peut seul l'occuper......Ceci dit une fois pour toutes et ce divin orgueil accepte comme une pretention, non legitime chez le poete en general mais legitime chez celui-ci, voyons si la lucidite est a la hauteur de l'emotion et si ce voyant inspire, qui semble percer l'inconnu, a la vision nette des choses connues......oui et non. Oui, au point de vue de l'eternelle philosophie; au point de vue immediatement historique, non.....son veritable nom serait le passionne, car tout est passion chez lui: la haine et l'amour, la mansuetude et la colere, l'indignation et la pitie; son organe visuel est fait de passion comme son sens intellectuel; son esprit a la faculte de se dilater au point d'embrasser l'univers dans une etreinte gigantesque, et des lors tout se dilate et devient colossal dans son appreciation.....d'une mouche il fait un monstre, d'une fourmi un elephant......il y a une troisieme voix que le genie de l'antithese n'a pas daigne entendre: c'est la voix juste......quand malgre soi on est reste debout entre les deux cadavres, doit-on traiter l'un de martyr et l'autre d'assassin? Ils se sont egorges l'un l'autre, martyrs tous les deux ou assassins tous les deux, il n'y a pas a dire.....il n'a pas fletri avec son energie accoutumee les chefs et les membres de cette bande; il s'est contente de dire qu'il ne les approuvait pas.....il n'eut eu de cris de colere que contre la repression et de cris de pitie que pour les infames qui tentaient de detruire Paris apres l'avoir deshonore...... son esprit a eu une defaillance de lumiere, les etoiles en ont bien!......c'est que je le place plus haut que vous, les amis de sa gloire litteraire, ne songez a le placer. Pourvu qu'il chante, vous etes ravis, et lui, il veut etre quelque chose de plus que le chantre, il veut etre quelque chose que je lui accorde de toute mon ame. Il veut etre le penseur du siecle. Il l'est, je vous l'ai dit, il est la voix de la patrie, il resume en lui toute son histoire, il en subit toutes les ivresses et toutes les tortures, tous les dechirements et toutes les aspirations.......Lui, il a vu les choses en grand, en gros quelquefois, jamais en petit. Mais ce qu'il a bien vu, personne ne l'a vu comme lui. il a vu tres loin devant lui, et il a dit des verites souveraines que rien ne pourra detruire.......Des siecles passeront sur nos desespoirs et l'espoir fleurira encore dans le monde. Alors on lira ce poete et on tiendra bien peu de compte de ce qui offense les delicats d'aujourd'hui. Ce sera encore un livre de vie pour les jeunes; les traces de nos malheurs seront effacees, nos ruines seront ensevelies dans des oeuvres de renaissance, nos drames d'un jour seront contemples comme des reves et racontes comme des legendes; nos monceaux de livres seront juges, oublies pour la plupart, un nom restera eclatant, attache a la robe funebre du XIX siecle comme une etoile au manteau de la nuit et ce nom ce sera celui de l'auteur de l'Annee terrible’ (Translation: ‘Here is a sublime poet, the poet of France. He is truly the voice of the party, and that is why in speaking of him we feel that we are addressing France itself of which he is the soul and the expression, the terrible heartbreak, the sovereign organ……I feel for him something more than admiration, I feel that I love him…..When the poet without rival today mounts the winged steed to question heaven about the destinies of earth, he strips away his real personality, he forgets his own name, he spiritualises himself, he is the thinker and the poet, he exercises his priesthood, he plays his role, he breaks with custom, he despises good tone, he goes beyond good taste, he uses his right which is to rise as far as a thought can rise above a situation, an aspiration above a fact, a will above an obstacle…..He has the sacred delirium of the pythonis, it rises to the manifestation of the spirit released from everything that weighs on us. He takes a place of which no one can be jealous, since no one would have dared to take it, and that no one can challenge him since he alone can occupy it…….Having said this once and for all and this divine pride accepted as a pretension, not legitimate in the poet in general but legitimate in this one, let us see if the lucidity is to be the height of the emotion and if this inspired seer, who seems to pierce the unknown, has the clear vision of the known things……yes and no. Yes, from the point of view of eternal philosophy; from the immediately historical point of view, no……his true name would be the passionate one, because everything is passion with him: hatred and love, gentleness and anger, indignation and pity; his visual organ is made of passion like his intellectual sense; his mind has the faculty of expanding to the point of embracing the universe in a gigantic embrace, and from then on everything expands and becomes colossal in his appreciation……of a fly he makes a monster, of an ant an elephant…..there is a third voice that the genius of the antithesis has not deigned to hear: it is the right voice……when in spite of oneself we remain standing between the two corpses, should we treat one as a martyr and the other as a murderer? They slit each other’s throats, both martyrs or both assassins, there is no need to say……he did not with his usual energy denounce the leaders and members of this band; he was content to say that he did not approve of themhe only had cries of anger against the repression and cries of pity only for the infamous people who tried to destroy Paris after having dishonoured.his spirit had a failure of light, the stars certainly did!......OWING TO LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE SALEROOM THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS LOT CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED.Please contact IAA Europe directly for further information.
