Paul Valéry’s most celebrated collection Charmes was first published in 1922. It contains several of his most famous poems, including ‘Ébauche d’un serpent’ and ‘Le cimetière marin’ – in Yvor Winters’ view ‘the two greatest short poems ever written.’ The collection as a whole has achieved classic status as the finest work by the finest modern French poet. Here it is helpfully introduced and discussed by Peter Dale who has also appended some early poems, and one much later piece, of related interest. |
