Raymond Radiguet, a morte aos 20 anos
"On 12 December 1923, Radiguet died at age 20 in Paris of tuberculosis, which he contracted after a trip he took with Cocteau. Cocteau, in an interview with The Paris Review stated that Radiguet had told him three days before his death that, "In three days, I am going to be shot by the soldiers of God."[8] In reaction to this death Francis Poulenc wrote, "For two days I was unable to do anything, I was so stunned".[9]
In her 1932 memoir, Laughing Torso, British artist Nina Hamnett describes Radiguet's funeral: "The church was crowded with people. In the pew in front of us was the negro band from Le Boeuf sur le Toit. Picasso was there, Brâncuși and so many celebrated people that I cannot remember their names. Radiguet's death was a terrible shock to everyone.(...)"
