Jean Cocteau to Jean Marais, 1939.
Mon Jeannot, Je lis et relis ta bonne lettre. Comment as-tu pu croire à mon “indifférence”? J’ai eu la bêtise de jouer un rôle parce que je croyais te libérer et te rendre plus heureux. Mais si mon bonheur est utile au tien, sache que chaque nuit je pleurais et je souffrais de ne pas te tenir dans mes bras, et que tous mes rires et mes farces étaient de commande. Je te l’avoue dans ma joie de sentir la chance revenir à la maison et quand je t’ai embrassé ce soir, j’ai bien vu que cela te rendait ému comme moi et que nous gâchions le miracle de notre vie qui ne ressemble pas à celle des autres.
