A book so particular about its company that it arrived in seven copies on imperial Japan paper, with two more on parchment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelchior Lechter gave each of the seven a different adornment. Blue capitals. Gold rules. The sort of page that makes you turn down the lamp, then turn it up again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text was Mallarmé’s \u003cem\u003eHérodiade\u003c\/em\u003e, carried into German by Stefan George. Its heroine preferred an exquisite distance. Lechter’s serpent appears to share the policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven heads, each beneath its own star. Cobalt necks rise from a knot of gold-patterned coils, composed with the fastidiousness of a jeweler and the assurance of someone whose name is already on the list. Sacred at first glance. Less reassuring when you count the mouths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were taken by that combination. The splendor, certainly. Also the complete absence of any wish to put you at ease. This is a creature that could keep a secret for centuries and consider the conversation unfinished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Old Heaven art print after Lechter’s \u003cem\u003eHerodias\u003c\/em\u003e ornament, with the ivory ground and blue-and-gold intricacy given room to breathe inside a generous white border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHang it where the afternoon light finds it.
