In the circumstances one risks accusations of vulgarity by suggesting that this issue of the “Journal of the London Institute of ’Pataphysics” (no.4) demonstrates the equivalence of scale: large and small, gigantic and miniscule. It consists of an intense and thorough exploration of a single small huge poem, Stéphane Mallarmé's "Sonnet in X" by Alastair Brotchie and Dennis Duncan, a translation of the poem by Stanley Chapman, extracts from Mallarmé’s letters on its composition and an essay on the semi-imaginary word “Ptyx” by Doctor Sandomir, the first Vice-Curator of the Collège de ’Pataphysique. 345 numbered copies, 20 pages.
