Correspondence from Auguste Rodin to Aleister Crowley
182, rue de l'Université
March 14, 1903
Dear Monsieur A. Crowley,
I've sent two sonnets translated and copied with care on luxury paper, sent by Monsieur Marcel Schwob who seems to me to have interpreted the poem magnificently.
You have composed two sonnets which are two corollary works to mine, they really express that we breathe the same air. I haven't found a comparable eloquence for mystery and energy veiled with poetry, which makes the impression moving and indefinite.
Of the rest, dear sir and friend, I make praise for your sonnets, of your poetry, even better in my plaster.
Accept my feelings of recognition from sculptor to poet,
Aug. Rodin
