Abstract: The paper deals with devices typical for the oeuvre of the French poet Stephane Mallarme. He belonged to that category of authors for whom the quest for a new poetic language was almost more vital than their own creations. As a result, his poetic texts present a certain structure wherein all elements, words, symbols and rhythms, serve a single purpose, i.e. to embody an absolute text, which goes to prove the everlasting beauty of Poetry. Mallarme’s new approach to the nature of words has largely presaged the discoveries of the 20th century modernist poets. This paper methodologically follows the works aimed at deciphering and interpreting the “hermetic” verse of the poet. Taking a closer look at his articles and analyzing just two of Mallarme’s poems the author reconstructs the way of creating a new poetic and enigmatic language
