French writer (1876-1943) and Art Historian.

Fine autograph manuscript, no date, by Gillet, titled "Hoffmanstahl, poète de l'Autriche". In this moving memorial, Gillet attempts to bring back to life the works of the poet Hugo von Hofmannstahl (1874-1929), little known to the French public.

We report an extract as a sample: "...C'était pourtant un grand poète, et peut-êtr, avec d'Annunzio, le premier de ce siècle: dans cette Allemagne de fer et de philistins, de casernes et de bureaux, de canons et d'argent qui avait succédé à la victoire de Bismarck et où Nietzsche, après une vie d'exil, était mort de dégoût, de colère et de folie, il était le premier qui eût ramené la poésie. Dans ce monde brutal, il ramenait par la main cette inconnue, ou celle oubliée, la Beauté. Il allait la chercher aux bords où elle était restée, à venise, chez cette reine déchue de l'Adriatique, dans la Grèce archaïque et les villes mortes de l'Argolide, où Schliemann venait de rouvir les tombeaux de Mycènes, les sépulcres des rois égorgées ; il écrivait La Mort de Titien, Venise sauvée, Electre, Oedipe, Ariane à Naxos. Il était de ceux qui pensent avec l'auteur de la Gaya Scienza : "Il faut méditerraniser la musique...".
