reviewed Collected Works of Paul Valery, Volume 4: Dialogues on May 08, 2014 Collected Works of Paul Valery, Volume 4: Dialogues
One of my favorite books, which a second reading several years after my first now confirms. I appreciate Paul Valery in general and have read several of his other pieces, but this collection beats them all. "The Dialogue of the Tree" is terrific, and "Eupalinos, or The Architect" is one of most rewarding bits of speculative fiction/philosophy I've ever read. Though I can't read it in the original French, the translation here seems wonderful; modern English prose doesn't get much better.
From "Socrates and His Physician" -
"The purpose of a life seems to me to be to use its time and strength to make, or create, or perceive, something which should render quite useless, and even inconceivable and absurd, the rebeginning of an existence."
