Our editorial method is informed by social-text editing principles. By “text” we mean verbal and visual printed material, including non-referential physical elements such as bindings, page layouts, and ornaments. We view any text as the outcome of collaborative processes that have specific manifestations at precise historical moments. The Yellow Nineties Online publishes facsimile editions of a select collection of fin-de- siècle aesthetic periodicals, together with paratexts of production and reception such as cover designs, advertising materials, and reviews. This historical material is enhanced by two kinds of peer-reviewed scholarly commentary: biographies of the periodicals’ contributors and associates; and critical introductions to each title and volume by experts in the field. All scholarly material on the site is vetted by the editor(s) and peer- reviewed by them and/or an international board of advisors. The site as a whole is peer- reviewed by NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship). Contributors to the site retain personal copyright in their material. The site is licensed with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license. Both primary and secondary materials, including all visual images, are marked up in TEI- (Textual-Encoding Initiative) compliant XML (Extensible Markup Language). To ensure maximum flexibility for users, magazines are available on the site as virtual objects (facsimiles) in FlipBook form; in HTML for online reading; in PDF for downloading and collecting; and in XML for those who wish to review and/or adapt our tag sets. In order to make ornamental devices, such as initial letters, head- and tail- pieces, searchable, we have developed a Database of Ornament in OMEKA, and linked it to the relevant pages of each magazine edition. As a dynamic structure, a scholarly website is always in process; Phase One of The Yellow Nineties Online (2010-2015) is completed and Phase Two (2016-2021) is underway.

Three Poems By Dauphin Meunier

I—Au bord du Lac Léman

Le soir apaise au loin le bruit grave des villes, O lac ! et sur les bords de tes dormantes eaux Voici que j'appareille en songe des vaisseaux Dédaigneux de l'effort lent des rames serviles ; Car un souffle plus pur que l'haleine d'Eros Anime doucement leurs voiles dans le calme ; Et leur flotte s'éloigne avec un bruit de palmes Vers une île de paix comme des albatros. Et moi, leur capitaine, en proie au jeu des vents, Je vois soudain, malgré l'horizon décevant, Dans le halo d'argent où la lune s'élève, Un Labrador s'ouvrir avec des mains de rêve.

(Souvenir de Vevey à Madame Paul Vérola).

II—Hyde Park

UNE buée a peu à peu Noyé le vaste paysage Où ne transparaissent que bleus Des visages sous ce nuage ; Un mystère d'ame ou de femme Rêve, épars, en ce vêtement D'ombre que percent, par moment, Des yeux comme les cieux—sans flamme . . . La lune meurt sur cette plaine, Ou le soleil ; on ne sait pas Quel tapis assourdit les pas D'un velours de neige ou de laine ; L'air est dense, les corps sont vagues ; Ce n'est ni le jour ni la nuit ; Peut-être—de joie ou d'ennui— Que le paysage divague. . . .

(Souvenir de Londres à Madame Aline Harland).

VÉNÉRABLE By Dauphin Meunier 103

III—Chapelle Dissidente

(London) VÉNÉRABLE temple Et digne pasteur ! Sa redingote ample A l'air de rigueur. Protestante et raide Est son âme aussi ; Le mal n'est pas si Laid que le remède. Mains sans onction, Visage revêche.., Vite ! qu'on nous prêche La tentation ! Mieux vaut, bonne ou male La mort à Paris Que la vie au prix De cette morale !

(Pour Mr. Aubrey Beardsley.)
