An exceptional collection of nearly 200 works, photographs, manuscripts and prints around three emblematic figures of poetry, Rimbaud, Verlaine and Mallarmé, is on sale at Sotheby's Wednesday evening in Paris. This set of 180 lots from the Eric and Marie-Hélène B. library, collectors who have chosen to remain anonymous, also highlights the contemporaries of the three poets, Oscar Wilde, Tristan Corbière, Alfred Jarry or Villiers de L'Isle. -Adam. Gathered together for forty years, the collection offers carefully chosen pieces: copies in contemporary bindings, autographs, manuscripts, original photographs and drawings, specifies Sotheby's. The collection also crosses sulphurous mythical stories: Rimbaud and Verlaine or Oscar Wilde and the young Alfred Douglas. Thus is presented the famous letter sent by Verlaine to his friend Ernest Delahaye (estimate: 60,000 to 80,000 euros) after the last meeting between Verlaine and Rimbaud in Stuttgart, in February 1875, when Arthur had entrusted him with the manuscript of the Illuminations . Paul Verlaine, who then taught in England after being released from prison, repents in particular "his guilty folly of not long ago wanting to live only by him and his breath"
