Le monde est fait pour aboutir à un beau livre ‘Everything in the world exists to end up in a book’ (Mallarmé, 1945, 872). Mallarmé’s sentence is quoted by defiant bibliophiles, inhabitants of ivory towers, proponents of aestheticism, and many more—sometimes in disagreement.
What Mallarmé makes of the dangerous, messy, hubristic and often contradictory relations between art and everyday life is something unique, as exemplified in his article on Tailhade where life’s broken pieces are recycled and reconfigured into a powerfully suggestive defense of poetry.
