Post Lot Text

« Tristan Bernard épousa Suzanne Bomsel, fille d’un magnat du tissu, en septembre 1888. Il la surnommait Lotte ou encore Fermina. Dans une lettre à Camille Bloche, il décrit ainsi : "Une âme claire, purement et noblement égoïste, une âme de femme essentielle dans un corps de femme machinale […] Fermina est actuellement dans une forme de beauté incomparable… Elle a des cheveux, une bouche, un teint, un ovale de visage qui me lyrifient l’âme." Au tournant du siècle, ils firent chambre à part, tout en continuant à vivre sous le même toit, rue Édouard-Detaille : cela permit à l’écrivain de vivre en toute quiétude sa relation avec Marcelle Aron. Annette Vaillant se souvient qu’elle l’avait reçue, en compagnie de sa mère, Marthe Mellot, "en kimono dans la salle de bain étroite où, mousmé blonde déjà un peu fanée, elle mettait de l’ordre dans un tiroir de sa table de toilette". »
A. Salomon et G. Cogeval, Ibid., p. 748.

“Tristan Bernard married Suzanne Bomsel, daughter of a textile magnate, in September 1888. He nicknamed her Lotte or Fermina. In a letter to Camille Bloche, he thus described: “A soul that is clear, purely and nobly selfish, the soul of an essential woman in the body of an instinctive woman […] Fermina is currently in an incomparable form of beauty… She has hair, a mouth, a complexion, an oval of the face that inspires lyricism in my soul.” At the turn of the century, they kept separate bedrooms while continuing to live under the same roof, on rue Édouard-Detaille: this enabled the writer to carry on his relationship with Marcelle Aron undisturbed. Annette Vaillant recalls receiving her, with her mother, Marthe Mellot, “in a kimono in the cramped bathroom, where this mistress with already slightly faded blonde hair was tidying a drawer of her washstand”.”
A. Salomon and G. Cogeval, Ibid., p. 748.
