” Dear Sir, It is I who regrets this unfortunate postal strike. Would you like to come to see me tomorrow, Thursday, around four o’clock? If you are not free would you make another appointment for next week either at your house or at mine. I pray you, dear sir, to believe in the sincerity of my feelings in regards to you.” (signed) Pierre Louys

Quoted from Wikipedia

“Pierre Louys was a French poet and Romantic writer most renowned for lesbian and classical themes. He is known as a writer who “expressed pagan sensuality with stylistic perfection”.

He studied at the Ecole Alsacienne in Paris, and developed a close friendship with a future Nobel Prize winner and champion of Homosexual rights, Andre Gide.”
