Un Coup De Des Jamais N'Abolira Le Hasard / Mallarme, Stephane ; Daisy Aldan, translator., 1956

 Item
Identifier: CC-29101-30445
Scope and Contents

This translation, authorized by Gallimard (publishers) and Mallarme's heirs as the first in English, was first published in Folder No.4, 1956, Tiber Press. This periodical is also held by the Sackner Archive. According to Aldan, each page of the poem forms an ideogram -- an image of whiteness of sky and ocean, storm waves,crests and troughs, male and female, wing and bird, sail and boat, etc. The four themes, UN COUP DE DES, JAMAIS, N'ABOLIRA, AND LE HASARD are equivalent to four movements of a symphony. They symbolize many phases of life and time, e.g., four divisions of a day, four seasons, four stages of total time, etc. and are an important part of the pattern that unifies the poem. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
