Published and printed by ditions Sciaky, Paris, 1979.

Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), It was by listening to Mrs.

Louise Weiss, at the opening of the Parliament of Europe, that I found some dazzling accents that brought me back to mind drawings.

I felt very guilty because the dear great man had been dead since 1963.

Having been able to obtain the kind permission of Mr.

Edouard Dermit, heir of Jean Cocteau, I no longer hesitated, therefore, to make public these unpublished drawings.

I also, through extreme complacency of Mrs.

Louise Weiss, obtained the authorization to reproduce, in-depth, her historical text for the inauguration of the European Parliament whose terms had so well reminded me of these drawings of a Jean Cocteau, an ignored European, and proclaiming his faith in Europe.

Our edition contains this speech and the famous series of drawings by Jean Cocteau that I had piously preserved for many years.
