Kids have gifts—when one trusts them

Russian TV - Bella Devyatkina
Russian TV – Bella Devyatkina

All too often, adults think that children by their nature should do childish things and be left in their childish world, rather than imitating adults and their activities; this is the motto “let kids be kids.” Thus they are left in ignorance of what one considers as “beyond their age,” and if they show too much interest in such “beyond” things and inquire too much about them, they will be answered “don’t touch,” “stay away,” “this is not of your age,” “you are too young for that” or “anyway you can’t understand.” This makes future adults who will be ignorant, backward, immature and dependent on authority.

Agitations paranormales autour de Minou Drouet

Minou Drouet
Minou Drouet – dans Minou Drouet : ses messages de lumière, de Georgette Corot-Gélas

La publication des poèmes de Minou Drouet et ensuite l’histoire de son enfance ont toujours donné lieu à des allégations fantastiques, soit sur les supposés pouvoirs paranormaux de la fillette, soit sur l’influence télépathique ou l’emprise hypnotique de sa mère adoptive. Celle-ci d’ailleurs contribua pour une large part à ces spéculations. CONTINUE READING / CONTINUER LA LECTURE…

Mme Claude Drouet n’aurait jamais pu écrire les poèmes de Minou

Claude et Minou Drouet
IMS Vintage Photos – Claude et Minou Drouet (c.1962)

Quand René Julliard publia les premiers poèmes de Minou Drouet en 1955, de nombreux critiques crièrent à la supercherie, affirmant que sa mère adoptive, Claude Drouet, en était le véritable auteur. Ainsi André Breton affirma, invoquant les travaux du psychologue Jean Piaget : « il n’est pas une enfant de cet âge et bien au-delà, qui puisse, par elle-même et à elle seule, écrire ce qu’on prête à Minou Drouet. » Dans un entretien avec André Parinaud, Michèle Perrein, reporter du journal Elle et principale propagandiste de la thèse de l’imposture, usa également d’un pareil argument : CONTINUE READING / CONTINUER LA LECTURE…

Possibly there are some readers who, every three days at 6 p.m. Paris time, visit this site in order to read a new post. Today they will find an unusual one, similar to another one that appeared exactly six months ago, as it is not devoted to presenting a writer or a poem.

Deux poèmes de Choderlos de Laclos adressés à Mademoiselle de Sivry

William-Adolphe Bouguereau - Une vocation
William-Adolphe Bouguereau – Une vocation (1896) – provient de Art Renewal Center

Philippine de Sivry (1775-1851), écrivaine française, publia sous son nom d’épouse, Madame de Vannoz, plusieurs ouvrages, le plus connu étant Épitres à une femme sur la conversation, ou Conseils à une femme sur les moyens de plaire dans la conversation, publié chez Michaud en 1812.

Enfant précoce, elle écrivit des poèmes dès l’âge de huit ans, et devint la coqueluche des salons parisiens. Elle attira l’attention de Choderlos de Laclos, qui lui dédia deux poèmes, qu’on retrouve dans son recueil de vers publié en 1908 par Arthur Symons et Louis Thomas.

Minou Drouet, le génie écrasé de l’enfance

Roger Hauert - Minou Drouet
Roger Hauert – Minou Drouet – dans Poèmes (1956)

Enfant intelligente et extrêmement sensible, esprit libre et immensément créatif, Minou Drouet irritait de nombreux adultes. Plusieurs crièrent à l’imposture, affirmant qu’elle ne pouvait en aucun cas être l’auteur des poèmes et lettres publiés sous son nom. Certains la considéraient comme un monstre ou un animal de cirque. D’autres essayaient d’en faire une petite fille normale ou un poète comme les autres. CONTINUE READING / CONTINUER LA LECTURE…
