Almaïde [1901]. 3. Pomme d'Anis [1923]). "Under these names with their deliciously arched beauty are hidden two unforgettable figures of young girls who seek within themselves, around them, above them, what could give a reality and a soul to their dreams and desires... A marvelous nomination of the world which draws, in the immemorial harmony of a young girl's body tuned to the gardens of a soul and the enchantments of desire, the very essence of the poetic" (Laffont-Bompiani). Binding a little stained; paper yellowed. Provenance: baron de Fleury (ex-libris).
