ANOTHER FAN (OF MADEMOISELLE MALLARME), by STEPHANE MALLARME Poet's Biography

First Line: O dreamy one, that I may plunge
Last Line: Against the fire of a bracelet.
Subject(s): Fans
O dreamy one, that I may plunge
To the pure unchanneled delight,
Know how to tend my wing,
By a subtle fiction, in your hand.
Each pulse of my throbbing
Brings the cool wind of dusk.
Each imprisoned beat
Delicately defers the horizon.
Vertigo! Now space trembles
Like an unaccepted kiss which, crazed
By its huge birth and loss of lips,
Can neither burst nor yet subside.
O sense the paradise
Shy as buried laughter
Flowing from the corner of your mouth
Through the deep unanimous fold!
The scepter of roseate shores
Stilled on evenings of gold, this it is,
This closed white fluttering which you put
Against the fire of a bracelet.
