• Icarus at Boardwalk

  “As in Monopoly, the fortunes of
  the Boardwalk depend on the roll of
  the dice.  It’s the final stop on the
  game board, the crown
  jewel….”

  – Eileen Smith, Sept. 6, 2004

  A link from Log24 last night:

  A Throw of the Dice:
  The Life of Stéphane Mallarmé

  From Log24 on Aug. 29, 2003:

  
  

  Atlantic City ‘He landed on Park Place!’ Charles Lindbergh seems to have done just that.  See yesterday’s entry Spirit.

  From today’s online New York Times:

  4 Killed as Small Plane Crashes
  in Coney Island

  

  What moral may be drawn from these
  narratives, I do not know.

  For Mallarmé‘s own views, see
  Un coup de Dés jamais n’abolira le Hasard.
