Il a suffi à Stéphane Mallarmé de quelques poèmes pour remettre en question l'objet même de la littérature. Avec lui naquit un vers nouveau : souvent remaniés des dizaines de fois, ses poèmes sont un travail d'orfèvre, pour lequel il soupèse chaque mot, le contemple sous toutes ses faces et dans sa transparence, dans le jeu de tous ses reflets, jusqu'à obtenir un bijou textuel dont l'essence est un plaisir musical et sensuel plutôt que l'évocation d'objets réels. Sans Mallarmé, pas de modernité poétique. Découvrez ou redécouvrez Mallarmé au travers de ses meilleurs textes ; on leur reproche souvent leur difficulté, mais la clarté de l'interprétation de Florence Alayrac permet d'en savourer tout le plaisir.

"Qu'est-ce qu'une femme ? Une déesse mortelle. Une déesse ? Une femme immortelle." Qui parle ? Le Poète (inutile, autrefois, de préciser "Homère"), dans l'Iliade, notre naissance en littérature. Loin d'être la faiblesse des hommes et des dieux, la femme et la déesse sont la force du chant : tout part de la déesse invoquée ; tout remonte à Hélène, la femme désirée, selon le vouloir d'Aphrodite. Elles sont là, reines, mères et filles, sœurs et épouses, amantes ou solitaires. Inséparables des hommes et des dieux.

Gérard Labrunie dit Gérard de Nerval, est né le 22 mai 1808, à Paris. Il décida d'y terminer volontairement ses jours et on le retrouva pendu, rue de la Vieille Lanterne, à l'aube du 26 janvier 1855. L'existence entière de Nerval fut dominée par l'obsession d'une autre vie dont seuls les rêves nous rendent compte. Aurélia est l'adorable créature surgie de ce monde invisible. Comme il l'a dit à Alexandre Dumas, Nerval était doué de la faculté de s'identifier à des personnages réels ou légendaires.
