The first stanza has found its definitive form: "In the pediment of an ancient temple Two blocks of marble are three thousand years old"... The second stanza was drafted and corrected, very different from the final version: "Two pearls in the same mother-of-pearl Tears of the waves weeping for Venus"... It is repeated in a different form, with many cross-outs: "For Cleopatra's supper Deux perles"... The draft of the third stanza follows: "In the fresh Generalife hatched Under the still weeping stream of water"... Verso, pen and brown ink drawing of a lizard. Certificate from Évariste BOULAY-PATY (1804-1864): "drawing and handwriting by Théophile Gautier Ev. B p".
