Although the translator wishes to be
a bit snippy about previous translations
of the Rene Char masterpiece — ignore him
and seek them out — likewise take this
new edition in hand and read it with
the same gusto & courage
of the poet

In the darkness of our lives, there is not one place
for Beauty. The whole place is for Beauty.
