ful queen of France. Aphorism 13 paid homage to Marcel Duchamp: Rrose Slavy connat bien le marchand
du sel in English: Rrose Slavy knows the merchant
of salt well"; in French the nal words sound like Marchamp Du-cel. Note that the 'salt seller' aphorism marchand-du-sel is a phonetic rearrangement of the syllables in the artists actual name: mar-cel-du-champ.
(Duchamps compiled notes are titled 'Salt Seller'.) In
1939 a collection of these aphorisms was published under the name of Rrose Slavy, entitled Poils et coups de
pieds en tous genres.
The inspiration of the name Rrose Slavy has been viewed
to be Belle da Costa Greene, J.P. Morgan's librarian of
The Morgan Library & Museum (formerly The Pierpont
Morgan Library) who, following his death, became the
Librarys director, working there for a total of forty-three
years. Empowered by J.P. Morgan, and then by his son
Jack, Greene built the collection buying and selling rare
manuscripts, books and art.[1]
The late Ilmar Laaban an Estonian poet, lecturer, polyglot and intellectual who died in exile in Sweden, often
called the father of Estonian surrealism wrote a collection of poetry called Rroosi Selaviste in Estonian
that is based on wordplay and puns. Published in 1957,
it is without a doubt one of his major accomplishments,
a playful homage to his native tongue that not only shows
the suppleness of the Estonian language, but also Laabans virtuosity as a wordsmith.
