GHIL (René). Le Pantoun des pantoun, Javanese poem. Paris et Batavia, 1902, 8°, 80 p., br. (cover marg. missing). First edition enriched with a dispatch (in Malay?) to the author Clément-Janin (1881-1915). In 1902, the poet René Ghil published a long poem entitled "Le Pantoun des pantoun", subtitled "poème javanais", which only respects the pantoum form at the beginning. This work makes abundant use of "Javanese" terms (in fact, a mixture of Javanese and Malay), and is followed in its original edition by an imposing "lexicon". The author, sensitive to the "things and beings of the East and Far East", had been particularly impressed by the Javanese dances he had witnessed at the 1889 and 1900 Paris World Fairs.
