註釋

In July 1871, Mallarmé's second child, Anatole, underwent a serious illness starting at seven years of age. Anatole, who had been born with an enlarged heart, suffered from rheumatic fever, and died in October 1879 at the age of eight. Mallarmé left a long series of fragments in an attempt to assemble a poetic memorial for his son, what he called, as in his poems for Edgar Allen Poe and other writers, a 'tomb.'I've taken inspiration from these fragments, ideas, and much else. What follows cannot be considered a translation of Mallarmé's fragments-but it certainly would not exist without his fragments. Much like Mallarmé's project to memorialize his son by erecting a 'tomb' of poetry over his memory-these are the apprentice sketches of one visitor to that ruined monument.FROM THE POEM:Speech puts tears into the eyes, wet Syllables your mother and I cannot say Nor unsay-silent in the house today.
