Copie annotée et feuillet autographe signé du commentaire pour le court-métrage Guernica, réalisé par Alain Resnais et Robert Hessens en 1950, d'après le tableau de Pablo Picasso. Le texte reprend plusieurs passages du poème "La victoire de Guernica", écrit en 1937 et publié en 1938 dans Cours naturel. Il fut enregistré par Maria Casarès, sur une musique de Guy Bernard, et publié en décembre 1949 dans la revue Europe. Le texte inclut de nombreuses corrections et annotations de la main du poète, qui laisse aussi des indications concernant la lecture du commentaire : "bien marquer les séparations indiquées [...] il y en a [...] 14".
"Un homme chante. Un homme espère. Et les frelons de ses douleurs s'éloignent dans l'azur durci. Et les abeilles de ses chansons ont quand même fait leur miel dans le cœur des hommes.
Guernica ! l'innocence aura raison du crime.
Guernica !..."
