DIVAGATIONS

Divagations is an 1897 prose collection by the French writer Stephane Mallarme. The book introduces the idea of "critical poems", a mixture between critical essays and prose poems. The book is divided into two parts, first a series of prose poems, and then the actual "divagations" - "wanderings" or "ravings".

“To say, to have, to be a flower – and from within its charted petals grown unmade, to feel the flower, nonetheless; yet, in its contour to be an other.”
