Excerpt from The Lotus, Vol. 2: December, 1896
The afternoon light that sifted through the western window near it seemed to thicken the strange, still amber mist that steeped the picture. It was afternoon on that can vas; it might have been the light of the lotus-eater's eternal afternoon in which the artist's brush had been dipped. One knew that a tree grew somewhere off to the west, for its branches had gotten into the scene, and a ragged blot of its velvety shadow lay over the poppy-bed in the foreground.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique and ambitious literary endeavor. The author sets out to analyze the artistic and intellectual movement under the banner of Symbolism across the disciplines and national boundaries of the nineteenth century. The author argues that this movement, which started as a reaction against Realism and Naturalism, was not simply a literary fashion but a vibrant and far-reaching philosophical worldview that still resonates in the present day. Symbolism in its various forms and permutations across different disciplines is a search for transcendence and emotional truth which the author argues is more important to understanding the last decades of the 19th century than more strictly political and economic factors. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
