ARAGON LOUIS: (1897-1982) French poet, one of the leading voices of the surrealist movement in France. A.L.S., Louis Aragon, one page, small 4to, Amesbury House, Amesbury, Wiltshire, n.d., to Roger Vitrac, in French. Aragon writes, in full, 'A certain spirit of perversity made me visit you the other day, Roger Vitrac. I forbade myself from telling you in person what I could explain to you by writing. Truly, it's you that made it that way, and I'd like to repeat this same thing next time I visit. I should add that the inexplicable chatter last Tuesday was not at all due to a tendency to become paralysed which keeps returning me to a place I dread. Useless explanations. In friendship?' and in a postscript also asks if Vitrac wants to send his enquiry to Georges Limbour, whose address in Le Havre he provides. A letter of good association. VG Roger Vitrac (1899-1952) French surrealist poet and playwright. Vitrac had met Aragon and Andre Breton in 1921 at the Café Certa, one of the headquarters for Dada, and later Surrealist, activities. Vitrac became formally associated with the Dadaists and was also a founding member of the Surrealist movement and one of the signatories of Breton's First Surrealist Manifesto in 1924. Georges Limbour (1900-1970) French writer, poet and art critic.
