Description
GAULLE, Charles de (1890–1970).
Letter from the author, ‘C. de Gaulle’, [Colombey-les-Deux-Églises] 23 December 1956, to Jean GATTÉGNO, at the École Normale Supérieure; 2 pages in-8 on his letterhead ‘Le Général de Gaulle’, stamped envelope.
Note:
Gattégno’s letter had moved him. ‘It is quite true that the present period is, for the French people, one of mediocrity, but nothing lasts, not even that’… However, he does not see what purpose his visit to the École Normale would serve at present: ‘You know that, being unable to act, I prefer to express myself only through the voices of silence’…
