Princess Edmond de Polignac - 1939
from Selected correspondence 1915-1963 / Francis Poulenc, page 121:
I do not deserve any of the sweet things you say to me - it is I who owe you a great debt of gratitude, for so many wonderful hours of music, and for writing the Venice concerto for me, as well as the Paris one, whose profound beauty haunts me.
