 Symbolist poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Symbolism, as a type and movement in poetry, emphasized non-structured "internalized" poetry that, for lack of better words, describe thoughts and feelings in disconnected ways and places logic, formal structure, and descriptive reality in the back seat.
Influences on the Symbolist poets included the dark, introspective romanticism of William Blake and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as the Parnassianism of Théophile Gautier and Charles Leconte de Lisle.
Charles Baudelaire is often perceived as the foremost precursor of Symbolist poetry.

The first problem came from the clay of the Champ de Mars which could not withstand a pressure of 3 or 4 kg per square centimetre and secondly, workmen discovered that the piles for the northern and eastern feet of the tower had to be driven into an ancient arm of the river Seine.
Some time later the Société de la Tour Eiffel, half of the shares of which belonged to Gustave Eiffel, signed an agreement with the Prefect Poubelle* for the commercial operation of the tower for the next twenty years to 1910, when it should be returned to the City of Paris.
The total cost of the construction reached 8,000,000 gold francs (of which 900,000 was for the foundations, masonry and bases; 3,800,000 for the metal and assembly; 200,000 for the painting; 1,200,000 for the machinery and lifts; 400,000 for decoration, restaurants).

"La fille aux cheveux de lin" ("The Girl with the Flaxen Hair") is a poem by Charles Marie Leconte de Lisle (1818-1884) in which a lover implores the beautiful girl sitting in the alfalfa field not to speak, but merely to let him kiss her beautiful hair.
Beautiful hair is similarly the characteristic physical attribute of the young woman in Debussy’s great opera Pélléas et Mélisande (1893-1901), in the pivotal scene of which the young lovers are caught by the jealous husband as Pélleas is luxuriating in the hair Mélisande has let fall from her tower window.
At the climax of the piano piece, the descending melody is supported by ascending parallel major triads, in a frisson of emotion that lasts all of two bars.

L'Idiot de la famille was erected over the ruin of the Critique, the collapse of his political hope, his role as political intellectual and the project of a committed theatre.
L'Idiot de la famille was in fact unique among Sartre's works; and his self-criticism of his past as a 'classical intellectual' was both unduly harsh and misleading.
L'Idiot de la famille displayed the penchant for artificial construction that its predecessors had also shown while lacking even their often minimal sense of proportion; it preserved their wordiness without their accompanying sense of drama.
