Jaccottet

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Philippe Jaccottet almost always in connection with Hölderlin. He presents him as the editor of the Hölderlin volume in the Pléiade and its main translator1. This reminder recurs from one session to another, from 2019 to 2024, in varied contexts: Chateaubriand, Nietzsche, the question of roots and migration, Clouscard. He calls him a "delicate poet" and an "excellent poet"2. In 2023, he introduces a poem by Hölderlin through Jaccottet's note in the Pléiade edition, so as not to use superlatives himself3. The same year, he takes from him an observation about Hölderlin as a child: his stupor before the river4. In 2024, he adds a personal memory: he knew him in the Drôme5. In these passages, he does not comment on Jaccottet's own poetry. He refers to him mainly as a translator and reader of Hölderlin.
