Translated:
"Dearest René,
[...] photographic study on the memory of blood [...] We`ll never get enough men together to remove a layer of plaster from the 4th wall of our 3-walled prison. Denis Saurat is the author of translations of poems by [illegible] Cathars and, among other things, one of his poems was mysteriously dictated to him in the idiom. His book: L`Atlantide et le gigantisme opposes all academic science with a grace and authority of the highest order. (He`s not young anymore). He has just lectured with Lahovary on blood groups and races [...]"

Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, filmmaker, and visual artist. Born on July 5, 1889 in Maisons-Laffitte, a suburb of Paris, Cocteau is best known for his avant-garde work and his collaborations with some of the most prominent artists of his time.
Cocteau first gained fame as a poet in the early 20th century, publishing his first collection of poems at the age of 19. His writing often explored themes of love, death, and the supernatural, with a dreamlike quality that enchanted readers and critics alike.
In addition to his poetry, Cocteau was a prolific playwright, penning such classics as "The Infernal Machine" and "The Human Voice." He also dabbled in novel writing, creating fantastical works like "Les Enfants Terribles" that continue to captivate readers to this day.
As a visual artist, Cocteau was known for his distinctive style that combined elements of Cubism and Surrealism. His drawings, paintings, and tapestries are celebrated for their intricate details and dreamlike imagery.
Cocteau's foray into filmmaking solidified his status as a Renaissance man. His film "The Blood of a Poet" is considered a landmark in the history of cinema, blending visual poetry with innovative techniques that would influence generations of filmmakers to come.
Despite his many talents and achievements, Cocteau struggled with addiction and personal demons throughout his life. He passed away on October 11, 1963 in Milly-la-Forêt, leaving behind a legacy of creativity and innovation that continues to inspire artists around the world.
