Valéry's poem, translated from the French into English by Mark Wardle, is here introduced by T.S. Eliot. The volume is signed by Wardle, Eliot and Valéry. Above these signatures is a presentation inscription from André Gide's English translator (and estranged wife of the Daily Mail owner Lord Rothermere), Lillian Rothermere, to André Gide. A typed address label for Gide is loosely inserted.
