Another Fan (Miss Mallarmé's)

O dreamer, for whom I plunge

Into pure pathless delight

I know how, by a subtle lie

To keep my wing in your hand

A cool twilight breeze

Comes to you with every flutter

Whose captive stroke pushes back

The horizon delicately

Dizziness! Here is that shiver--

Space like a big kiss

Who, born crazy for no one,

Cannot gush or die down

You feel the fierce paradise

Like a buried laugh slipping

From the corner of your mouth

To the bottom of the unanimous fold

The scepter of the pink shores

Stagnant in the golden evenings, this is it,

This white enclosed flight which you put

Against the fire of a bracelet
