    About this ebook

    Grouped together in this book are several smaller volumes and plaquettes in which Valéry had published selections of his shorter prose writings: aphorisms, moral reflections, poetic observations, flashes of wit or fancy, even jokes—a variety of remarks and impressions, many of them first recorded in his Notebooks.

    Originally published in 1970.

    Paul Valéry

    One of the major figures of twentieth-century French literature, Paul Valéry was born in 1871. After a promising debut as a young symbolist in Mallarmé’s circle, Valéry withdrew from public view for almost twenty years, and was almost forgotten by 1917 when the publication of the long poem La Jeune Parque made him an instant celebrity. He was best known in his day for his small output of highly polished lyric poetry, and posthumously for the 27,000 pages of his Notebooks. He died in 1945.

      IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS. Rock stars don’t get old and grey. Yet on 24 May, Bob Dylan turns 80. If this birthday comes as a shock to Dylan’s fans, there is good reason to think the man himself will be only slyly amused by it. Like Orson Welles
