‎Très intéressant exemplaire (reliure frottée, bon état intérieur), provenant de la bibliothèque du grand libraire Georges Heilbrun (avec son ex-libris), et bien complet de l'intégralité des prix d'adjudications (pour le premier catalogue) porté en margé à l'encre (prix de départ et prix d'arrivée). Guglielmo Libri fut certainement le plus grand voleur de livres et de manuscrits précieux du XIXe siècle ; il pilla notamment la bibliothèque Inguimbertine de Carpentras, la bibliothèque Royale, la bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, etc. Devant les soupçons qui pesaient sur lui, il réussit à s'enfuir en Angleterre où il réalisa pour une véritable fortune les trésors qu'il avait dérobés.

I am sorry to hear that you have been ill [ ... ] Your husband write to me just before he was leaving London, to let him know when time came, if I would let him this house. I have decided nothing yet, & shall not I think be in a position to decide till the Spring. It is [ ... ] to hear that [ .... ] thinks your plan can be performed if certain conditions are fulfilled, which you are in a position to fulfill. [... ] It is evidently a musical Plan. Do you want my collaboration in the Libretto ? What is the idea underlying it ? For title, either "At feet of Shiva" or "At Shiva's Feet" would be good English. Some [ ... ]might prefer the one, and some other prefer "At Shiva's Feet". It is shorter, and the rythm is more balanced. As regards [ ... ] I agree with your remarks in the abstracts, but am puzzled to see later application. What is the question that I did [ ... ] but which you want to answer ? What is the question & what is the answer ? Perhaps the sand & waves of Scheveningen are necessary before I can solve the puzzle ? Or perhaps a [ ... ] chair of musical laughter, or perhaps after all, not among these things, but simply [... ] I don't know. That's unfinished conversation - or interrupted [ ... ] : shall we just treasure it because it began at all, & not be impatient because it did not finish ?

We are having such beautiful weather - [ ... ]summer spring days, with a bite of frost in the mornings, our clear blue skies, through which Orion & Sirius & all the great summer constellations are gradually making their [ ... ] overload. Do you remember the glorious summer days we had in The Hague ? It was autumn then. Now is the sun of Spring, increasing in splendour and strength. Good [ ... ] About my Lecture on Hafiz in the Lyceum Club an Mar. 5th. : I am going to give an account of Hafiz & illustrate his poetry to this audience : 1 - by the singing of one of his Tales in Persian ; 2 - by the singing of this same Ode in an English verse translation in the original metres, & 3 - by explanations of his meanings. I have transleted the Ode which begins [persian text ] [ lacking ] who are going to set it to music & also to find singers if possible. [... ] But you are at a distance, & in this state of your health, I dare not ask you to undertake the strain. I have not seen any english translation of Hafiz that is satisfactory. I do not claim for my translation that it is satisfactory. But it is an honest presentment. [ ... ]I send you my Poem on Rembrandt. If you can make, or have made, two copies without mistakes, I shall ask for one copy to be sent to me & the other for publication to the Gazette de Hollande or any other paper that may like to publish it." Mar. 28,1921, 10 pages, with important lackings : [long letter about his poems on Rembrandt, then, on a second part, about Hafiz ] "Hafiz first addresses his master, the beloved Shiraz. He offers him whole heards, but if he only finds acceptance, what will he not give ? The black mole is rules a blemish, but even for a blemish of their master, he will give what is to him most precious. Samarkand & Bokhara were reputed the two finest cities of the time [... ] The turkish painter whom picture : "Jeune Emir à l'étude" I saw in Liverpool was Osman Hamdu Bey, of Constantinople.
