La Réve du Vieux Bombardier
-
First edition. A typescript of an unrecorded poem remembering the battles of the first world war. The author is having a conversation with Saint Barbe (Barbara) who is the patron saint of artillery men. The poem speaks both of the horror of war, and remembers the battles of the Marne, l'Yser (Ypres) and Verdun. Saint Barbe urges the French soldiers on in the defence of Metz. We have been unable to find any publication of this poem, and have been unable to identify the author. Typescript. 9 pages. A4. 32cm x 21cm. Saint Barbara is venerated by Catholics who face the danger of sudden and violent death at work. She is invoked against thunder and lightning and all accidents arising from explosions of gunpowder. Green undecorated soft covers. These are clean, but with fading to the edges and spine. Slight edgewear. The typescript is clean and tidy on somewhat darkened paper. .
