Autograph poem signed, entitled "Crossword Time". Without place "Somewhere on the front in France", December 1939. 2 pages in-4 pasted. Watermarked paper "Clipper Mail Opaque". Superb and moving poem addressed to the women whose husbands or lovers are in the war. Poem tinged with the worries of an Aragon at the front, probably inspired by his companion Elsa Triolet whom he had married on February 28, 1939. Bends and stains. Provenance: Galerie Signatures, Paris. A copy of the certificate of authenticity will be given to the future buyer.
