Jean COCTEAU (1889-1963), poet, draughtsman, playwright and film director: Autograph manuscript in pencil on an oblong in-8 sheet, "The Scott expedition to the Cinématographe - Boreal trepidation - Oh this two-dimensional background - The unfortunate ones were no longer dead at all - No longer dead at all - They were sinking into the pale empty screen - And it was me, this dead man, who could not shout to them what was waiting for them at the end" (the Scott expedition belonged to the race for the Pole, in March 1912 it ended with the death of Scott and his 4 explorers, who had reached the Pole, but 5 weeks after Amundsen, a silent film was released afterwards showing the Scott expedition moving in the snow and struggling with the ice, a film that impressed the young Cocteau)
