Mallarmé spent most of his life trying to perfect his work; therefore, he had many great pieces left unfinished. His sole focus was to continue putting his literary theories into practice and complete a piece called ''Grand Oeuvre'', or Great Work. Unfortunately he died before reaching his goal: He passed away on September 9, 1898 at the age of 56. However, he will always be known for influencing twentieth century French poetry, and for modernizing German and American poetry. | Mallarmé spent most of his life trying to perfect his work; therefore, he had many great pieces left unfinished.
