Note:

“On August 7, 1927 Suares wrote to the collector Jacques Doucet about his book projects with Rouault: ‘The contact between my text and Rouault’s plates will be astonishing. Far from finding that a bad thing, I think it will be a strength of the work. ... Rouault’s images and my poems do not look to find one another but are parallel.
