How a Poet TbinLs

In a recent lecture on Victor Hugo
Jean Richcpfn declared that when a
lyric poet thinks of a word there comes
into his mind, together with the crowd
Of associations that the word awakens
for other people. a great number Of
words that rhyme with the one first
thought of. Each Of these brings its
own association Of ideas. and thus the
poets mental vision Of words is vastly
richer than that of persons who think
of them only in their ordinary individ-
ual meanings NJ Richepin. himself

accent Of words are always vividlv
present in the poets mind.
