Synopsis
Excerpt from Divagations
Un ciel pâle, sur le monde qui finit de décrépi_ tude, va peut - être partir avec les nuages les lambeaux de la pourpre usée des couchants détei gnent dans une rivière dormant à l'horizon submergé de rayons et d'eau. Les arbres s'en nuient et, sous leur feuillage blanchi (de la pous sière du temps plutôt que celle des chemins), monte la maison en toile du Montreur de choses Passées maint réverbère attend le crépuscule et ravive les visages d'une malheureuse foule, vaincue par la maladie immortelle et le péché des siècles, d'hommes près de leurs chétives complices enceintes des fruits misérables avec lesquels périra la terre. Dans le silence inquiet de tous les yeux suppliant là - bas le soleil qui, sous l'eau, s'enfonce avec le désespoir d'un cri, voici le simple boniment Nulle enseigne ne vous régale du spectacle intérieur, car il n'est pas.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collection of critical essays and reflections, delves into the enigmatic world of the Symbolist movement in literature. The author, an astute observer of the era, provides a nuanced analysis of the movement's origins, key figures, and enduring impact. Through insightful readings of works by Baudelaire, Mallarmà , and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, among others, the book explores Symbolism's preoccupation with the ineffable, the mystical, and the power of suggestion. The author argues that Symbolism was not merely an aesthetic trend but a profound exploration of the human psyche and the nature of reality, its influence still reverberating in contemporary literature and thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780484985758_0
