Poems ranging from 鈥淟a Jeune Parque鈥 and 鈥淟e Cimeti猫re marin鈥 to occasional and light verse written as letters to friends, dedications in books, and inscriptions on ladies鈥 fans demonstrate the wide scope of Val茅ry’s lyric preoccupation. The bilingual edition, with David Paul’s English translations facing the French texts, includes the autobiographical 鈥淩ecollection,鈥 quoted below, and excerpts on poetry, selected and translated from Val茅ry’s notebooks by James Lawler.
Paul Val茅ry turned to the discipline of poetry during the First World War, to escape from the 鈥渃ommotion of a world gone mad.鈥 鈥淚 fashioned myself a poetry,鈥 he wrote, 鈥渢hat had no other law than to establish for me a way of living with myself, for a part of my days.鈥
