| Summary | "Pages" by Stéphane Mallarmé is a collection of poetic essays, likely written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on introspective themes, exploring the relationship between art, nature, and the human experience, while reflecting on the beauty and transience of life. As Mallarmé delves into notions of melancholy and artistic creativity, his prose exhibits a lyrical quality, inviting readers to ponder deeper philosophical inquiries. The opening of "Pages" introduces readers to an atmosphere of somber reflection and rich imagery. It begins with a vivid description of a fading world, setting the tone of decay intertwined with beauty. The narrator observes the actions and emotions of a crowd drawn to a spectacle, contrasting it with their inner desolation. As he reminisces about personal loss and solitude, the narrator finds comfort in the companionship of a cat and in the melancholic sound of a street organ. This portion captures the essence of loss, yearning, and artistic expression, as the author navigates through the complexities of existence while honing in on the lyrical and often tragic elements of life and art.
