La Marguerite d’Aragon, muse, mère et Sainte Vierge

subject

description

Religious pictures which suddenly appear under the feather of Aragon in the collection Les Yeux d’Elsa (1942) to come back almost twenty years later in the poem Les Poetes (1960) are in more than a title incongruous in the poetic production of an atheistic and communist writer. This incongruity occurs for these two periods with the irruption in his neighbourhood of the poet's mother, among whom illness then death and inheritance of a family missal happen at the same time in the accomplishment of the collection of 1942, and whose memory is reanimated by the autobiographemes of the poem of 1960.
