4 Great Poet Sunk in the Depths of
cgrcdntiOn-pOVcrty and

For The Sunday Post
Paris, January Ia very clear insight

serving "a certain number Of personalities
who at once attract his attention by their
ErotesQue and often affected originality
Paris is at present fun OF them There is
Mascinc Lisbuune, the charlatnn anar-
chist; Count a Jacksonville, the philau-
throplc poscur; Sir peladau, the leader of
the RoscruCians. Yoette Giulbcrt the i'm
de steele songstress, and many others.
But more interesting than an this group,
because he win be known 10 postcrity
when the others are long forgotten, is Paul
Neraine, the representative Of the new
French school Of poetry, the father OF
symbolism,
WHAT is POETIC SYMBOLISM?
EARLY in the eighties number Of young
writer's formed a literary circle calling
themselves Les Hydropathes," and hold
ing their meetings IN cellar cafe on the
Quai. ST. Michel In 1884, having consider
ably increased In number they changed
their headquarters 10 the Cafe Francois. !.
Boulevard. St Michel, and called them
selves pecadents, and later SymbolIsts

acsthetcal aim Of the Symbolists, as thcy
all entertain different theories and only
agree in q certain endeayor TO symbolic
everything I'm melinuous, but obscure
and often Illogical language which at
times becomes mere association Of
thoughts as IN the case OF Mnetterbinck,
Arthur Rimbaud. etc. The symbollst move
ment is not strictly speaking, a reaction
against materalism, as 1t still entertains
an admiration for impressionism, nor is Il
a development of realism, hut rather re-
vival Of some Of the Pre- Raphaelitic ten
denotes, with an endeayor 10 reach the
highest grade Of psychological analysis.
Paul Verlaine, q strange combination Of
vice and fanatic mysticism. and a perfect
master Of versihcation. IS IN regard TO his
talent, his works, HIS past existence and
his present mode OF living. the most in
teresting exponent OF the new school, and
few people Interested In literary matters
visit Paris nowadays without endeaYOring
to catch glimpse OF this strange per-
sonallty
Whom | expressed a wish IN a literary
circle TO meet Paul Nerlaine, the Beggar
Poet, l WAS told that he was In the hos
