…alas, and I read all the books
Fragment of a poem by Mallarmé realized on a page of a dictionary (the book par excellence).
And, to be a little in my era, I calligraphed these verses with a palette pen by reinterpreting a typeface, the COURIER NEW whose spaces are somettimes bad and which still are in my interpretation.

The whole was calligraphied in Payne’s grey and, for decoration, a little bit of watercolor with some white and ultramarine blue.
