NOTHING
of the memorable crisis
or might
the event have been fulfilled in view of all results null
human
WILL HAVE TAKEN PLACE
an ordinary elevation pours out absence
BUT THE PLACE
some rippling below as if to dispense the empty act
abruptly which otherwise
by its falsehood
would have founded
perdition
in these reaches
of waves
in which all reality dissolves
EXCEPT at altitude
PERHAPS
insofar as a place can fuse with the beyond
apart from the interest
assigned to it in general
through such obliquity and by such declivity
of fires
toward
what must be
the Septentrion or North
A CONSTELLATION
cold from forgetting and desuetude
not so much
that it doesn’t number
on some vacant and superior surface
the successive shock
sidereally
of a total account in the making
surveying
doubting
rolling
shining and meditating
before coming to a halt
at some final point which consecrates it
All Thought emits a Throw of the Dice
Poem by STÉPHANE MALLARMÉ
"A Throw of the Dice Never Will Abolish Chance"

I can't believe you left Japan! I want to visit that country someday... I did read Mallarme some years ago but I didn't understand a fuck.
I like Mallarme because he "draws" or "designs" poems rather than writes them...
like this poem piece which creates another sentences if you take out all the capital words, i like finding tricks from his work.. but yes. they are very very difficult if you try to understand.
are you from Argentina? I love there so much...
