Do any of you know any comp lit or poetry afficionados who'd have access to the first draft of Mallarme's poem "Le Pitre Chatie", which I gather used an abbabaab rhyme scheme for its first eight lines? I would like to use it in my essay on the Thue-Morse sequence. As always, I prefer using a couple of minutes of someone else's time (and giving them credit) instead of spending an hour of my own time (especially since a book giving preliminary versions of Mallarme's poems might be in French and hence hard for me to navigate). Thanks, Jim Propp
