Question

Symbolists like Rimbaud wrote poetry based on which of the following? (4 points) Creating impressions rather than expressing realism Creating tension by focusing on fictional characters Developing traditional ideas rather than modern ones Focusing on realistic descriptions of daily life

Answer 1

Rimbaud est mon idole...

Step-by-step explanation:

Je vis assis, tel qu'un ange aux mains d'un barbier,

Empoignant une chope à fortes cannelures,

L'hypogastre et le col cambrés, une Gambier

Aux dents, sous l'air gonflé d'impalpables voilures.

Tels que les excréments chauds d'un vieux colombier,

Mille Rêves en moi font de douces brûlures :

Puis par instants mon coeur triste est comme un aubier

Qu'ensanglante l'or jeune et sombre des coulures.

Answer 2

The answer is: creating impressions rather than expressing realism.

Symbolist poets tried to express an ideal or a truth in a symbolic, tangible and fluid way. They used metaphors and free verse to do so and tried to mix all five senses when describing something. That sort of confusion transformed reality into a unique experience, described in a colorful manner.

Art was seen as a refuge from real life and certain themes approaching mysticism were constantly used.
