VALÉRY, Paul (1871-1945).
Charmes ou poèmes. Paris : Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue Française, 1922.

Édition en grande partie originale de ce recueil.
Exemplaire de René A. Gutmann, médecin et proche de Paul Valéry, portant un long envoi autographe signé du poète, reprenant un vers du recueil : « Pour le docteur René Gutmann… O douceur de survivre à la force du jour / Quand elle se retire enfin, rose d’amour, / Encore un peu brûlante et lasse, mais comblée, / Et de tant de trésors tendrement accablée / Par de tels souvenirs qu’ils n’empourprent sa mort, / Et qu’ils la font heureuse agenouiller dans l’or / Puis s’étendre, se fondre et perdre sa vendange, / Et s’éteindre en un songe en qui le soir se change ».
René Gutmann a également ajouté une volvelle au recueil, à la page 29 où figure le passage : « Au cours d’une conversation, Paul Valery m’a cité les vers écrits ci-contre : « O douceur de survivre » etc. comme un type de longue phrase musicale et modulée qui lui a couté un travail considérable. Ce passage, m’a-t-il dit, l’a occupé pendant environ un mois ».
