"Tout à Jacques Rigaut le délice inhumain
De ce premier REFUS qu’il est fait pour entendre
Lui dont la main pourtant garde dans votre main
L’aspect inquiétant d’un télégramme tendre
André Breton
Pâques 1921"
Marguerite Bonnet commente cet envoi célèbre, qu’elle cite intégralement, par le propos suivant : “Que Mont de piété se veuille un livre traversé par une rupture, Breton le dit explicitement deux ans plus tard dans l’envoi quelque peu pervers – des alexandrins rimés – qu’il écrit pour Jacques Rigaut à Pâques 1921” (O. C., I, p. 1070).
André Breton's first book - this copy with an exceptional inscription to Jacques Rigaut.
