Henri de Régnier recalls Mallarmé saying, in April 1894: “Il n’y a qu’un homme qui ait le droit d’être anarchiste: moi, le Poète, puisque, seul, je fabrique un produit dont la Société ne veut pas, en échange duquel elle ne me donne pas de quoi vivre.” This article presents a close reading of one of Mallarmé’s Divagations texts, « Laurent Tailhade, » in the context of Symbolist responses to the anarchist bombing campaigns of the « ère des attentats, » in order to sketch out Mallarmé’s own notion of the poetics of explosion – at once more modest and more audacious than those of his more ‘radical’ contemporaries
