Present-day poets have properly understood this; with delicate restraint they have wandered around it, have approached it with a singular timidity - one might say with some apprehension - and, instead of seeing it as a principle and a point of departure, they have made it burst out suddenly as the climax of the poem or the sentence.

In music, the same transformation has occurred: the firmly delineated melodies of yesteryear have made way for an infinity of shattered melodies that enrich the fabric without making us feel the cadence as strongly. What about content? I believe, to the contrary, that there must only be allusion. The contemplation of objects, the images that soar from the reveries they have induced, constitute the song.

The Parnassians , who take the object in its entirety and show it, lack mystery; they take away from readers the delicious joy that arises when they believe that their own minds are creating. To name an object is to suppress three-quarters of the enjoyment of the poem, which derives from the pleasure of step-by-step discovery; to suggest , that is the dream.

It is the perfect use of this mystery that constitutes the symbol: to evoke an object little by little, so as to bring to light a state of the soul or, inversely, to choose an object and bring out ofit a state of the soul through a series of unravelings. But eluding this task [of deciphering the poem] is tantamount to cheating. Indeed, if a being of average intelligence and an insufficient literary preparation should by chance open a book written along these lines and pretend to enjoy it, there would have to be a misunderstanding.

One must set things straight. There must always be enigma in poetry, and the goal of literature - there is no other - is to evoke objects. Well, no! Poetry being an act of creation , one must draw from the soul of man states, glowing lights, of such absolute purity that, well sung and well lighted, they become the jewels of man: that is what is meant by symbol; that is what is meant by creation, and the word poetry here finds its meaning: it is, in sum, the only possible human creation.
