An isograph? What is it?
:33:03
A sampIe of the writing which aIIows
:33:06
experts to discern reaI from fake.
:33:09
PeopIe come from around the worId.
:33:13
For the Ietter G: Gobineau, Goethe...
:33:16
This is a photocopy.
Keep it.
:33:19
I made it for you.
:33:33
A Ietter he might have written
:33:36
to Mr. Vernet.
:33:42
Yes, NicoIas Vernet.
:33:44
He heIped GoIdoni,
when he was in Paris...
:33:48
Look at your... isograph,
:33:51
It is dated December 9th
:33:53
1
:33:57
It couId be to him.
:34:01
And the trifIe he speaks of,
:34:05
it couId be the pIay...
:34:07
What pIay?
:34:11
A ghost pIay,
:34:14
unpubIished,
:34:17
which GoIdoni might have
given to Mr. Vernet, to thank
:34:21
his generosity.
:34:23
I'm set on finding it,
:34:25
and be the first to direct it.
:34:29
One can dream...
:34:32
Indeed.
:34:34
Mr. Bassani...
:34:37
I shouIdn't advise you,
:34:40
but it I were in your shoes,
:34:42
and I had an unpubIished pIay...
:34:48
What wouId you do?
:34:52
I know someone who has
:34:55
a manuscript poem of Rimbaud.
:34:58
OnIy the Iast two stanzas
were pubIished.
