L’étoile a pleuré rose by Line Vautrin.
Rare gilded bronze box, with a convex lid adorned with a poem by Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891).
This poem is taken from “Poésies” (1870-1871).
Decor present on the lid:
L’étoile a pleuré rose au coeur de tes oreilles,
L’infini roulé blanc de ta nuque à tes reins
La mer a perlé rousse à tes mammes vermeilles
Et l’Homme saigné noir à ton flanc souverain.
