Claude Arnaud Quotes
Having Set Its Mark On The Generation Before Cocteau's, Symbolism Expressed A Form Of Inner Dissidence Confronting The Narrow-minded Materialism And Utilitarian Obsession Of The Industrial Revolution, And Hence A Reaction To Triumphant Naturalism, In Literature At Least. Nourished By Medieval, Renaissance, And Romantic Art, Symbolism, Probably The Last Great Backward-looking Movement Hatched In The West, Had Given Rise To A Desire To Explore The Secrets Of The World And The Confines Of The Soul. Beyond Its Androgynous Mercuries, Its Pale Narcissuses, And Its Orpheuses Borne By Rosaries Of Angels, It Gave Rise To A Whole Misty Alchemy Wherein Some Found Their Way Into Esotericism And Even Into The Religious, Since The Universe Was Only The Symbol Of Another World Into Which Entrance Was Gained Not Only Through Poetry, Spiritualism, Dreams, And The Ideal, But Also Via The Play Of Analogies And The Study Of Ciphers.
