Started Mallarme last night as translated by Keith Bosley. Also continuing to read your own "Into the Night" (is that right?)

I’ll check these out. Good idea.
My book is called So Late into the Night (cf Byron’s “So we’ll go no more a-roving”…._)

Ahem, moment of embarrassment about not getting the title right! I love the prelude, BTW.
