| Summary: | It is a school notebook taken from the archives left in Verson by the poet-president. It contains, with one exception, the entirety of Chants pour Naëtt (1949) which would later constitute the “Chants pour Signare” of Nocturnes (1961), and eight more poems which would find their place into Éthiopiques (1956). Less a draft stricto sensu than a first update, it allows interesting genetic analyzes which reveal the subtle weaving of the texts: hesitations between several terms, enrichment of expression and references, work on the syntactic structure and the flow of the poem. A group of poems, “Chant de l’initié”, poses a specific problem, that of its belonging to the book as well as its location in the collection.
