BRASSENS Georges (1921-1981). AUTHORIZED MANUSCRIPT of a song project; 1 page in-12 in pencil, on the false title of Henri Guillot's book, Ce qu'il faut savoir, new series (Strasbourg, Impr. des Dernières Nouvelles, 1939 , in-12 paperback). Amusing draft of a song that has remained unpublished. "The cuckold blew the defeated / A passing redhead wanted to intervene [......] And all this yes, all this in Margot's breasts, which, moreover, were flat They hung down to the foot "... Fond of popular idioms that he liked to accommodate as he pleased, Georges Brassens certainly sought inspiration in this booklet containing "Two hundred other Gallicisms, proverbial phrases, picturesque expressions of the French language, the most commonly used comparisons", where one can find in the margins annotations, underlines and reading marks . Attached: Pierre LASSERRE, Trente années de vie littéraire (Paris, 1929; in-12, paperback), with Brassens's autograph notes in green ink on the cover sheet "Mercredi 2/1er/46", and in the margins of pages 4 and 9; a few marks of reading.
