Léon DAUDET (1868-1942). Autograph manuscript, En route pour le Panthéon, [1908]; 1page in-fol. numbered 44. Against Zola's entry into the Panthéon. "En route pour le Panthéon sur les fourgons de l'Étranger. Sad Zola begins to think he'll never be in the Académie. - Patience... Clemenceau has given his ashes, or to be more precise, his poudrette, a tomb worthy of an armchair. Can you imagine this lost sentinel of Dreyfusism, smoking next to Victor Hugo? I can see Hugo standing up [...] In the meantime, the illustrious dead need only hold their noses".
