        <abstract language="eng"><![CDATA[ This paper aims at showing in what way artistic and historical traditions constitute for Derek Mahon a fundamental element of poetic writing, which is perhaps only a form of rewriting. Our purpose will follow three main lines: first the matter of form, which appears to be traditional in many respects; the second part will belong to the order of representation, in so far as the poem contains a return to artistic and historical sources placed in a contrapuntal mode. The third aspect of this analysis will deal with what proves to be a quest for the ultimate, a reflection on creation. By way of consequence, writing becomes the very subject of the poem.
