A collection of Paul Valéry's prose poems. Paul Valéry began writing poems in various forms of prose and free verse from 1892, with Pure Dramas, and continued to do so throughout his life, even during his period of silence when he had abandoned writing traditional verse. This volume of Valéry's prose poems includes some of the finest moments of his imagination (Broken Stories), some of his most witty observations (Mixtures and Poems in the Rough), and even some of his greatest poems (Parables and The Angel), revealing that he was a master not only of traditional verse forms but also of the modern prose poem. The Collected Works of Paul Valéry, the first collected edition of the author in English, includes new translations, the original French on facing pages for the poetic works, and corrective notes.
