He sends her a poem, the story of a dream, asks for proofs, etc. "I received your letter of the 20th and I thank you for having thought of me for the collection "The Golden Age". Although I have not been a member of the Surrealist group for a long time, I believe I have not renounced anything of this state of mind. It is thus with pleasure that I will give you a collection of some dreams. Possible title: Nights without night. Composition: 1/ Text of the "green disk" (which could be a preface, unless I write another preface). 2/ Dreams in the "Surrealist Revolution" (except for the text entitled The Land of my Dreams, which is more a paraphrase of dreams than a real suite of "dream stories" and which I have taken up again in Haut mal) [...]". The poem (1 p. in-4), dated 1943, entitled "Divided", is composed of 14 lines.
