Keywords: Joc secund (Second Game) / Un coup de dés.

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to offer a close reading of Ion Barbu’s last volume – Joc secund – in parallel with Un coup de dés (which can be seen as the peak of Mallarmé’s poetics). Starting from the obviously common aspects (such as the reference to Poe’s work or some major themes: the reflection and the constellation) we intend to bring into relief a few elements of continuity which may not have been sufficiently stressed, as well as to underline the particularities of each of these works.
