On n'est pas serieux, quand on a dix-sept ans.

--Un beau soir, foin des bocks et de la limonade, Des cafes tapageurs aux l.u.s.tres eclatants!

--On va sous les tilleuls verts de la promenade.

Les tilleuls sentent bon dans les bons soirs de juin!

L'air est parfois si doux, qu'on ferme la paupiere; Le vent charge de bruits,--la ville n'est pas loin-- A des parfums de vigne et des parfums de biere....

The sixth line is worthy of To-em-mei. But Rimbaud has not exhausted his idyllic moods or capacities in one poem. Witness:

COMEDIE EN TROIS BAISERS

Elle etait fort deshabillee, Et de grands arbres indiscrets Aux vitres penchaient leur feuillee Malinement, tout pres, tout pres.

a.s.sise sur ma grande chaise.

Mi-nue elle joignait les mains.

Sur le plancher frissonnaient d'aise Ses pet.i.ts pieds si fins, si fins.

--Je regardai, couleur de cire Un pet.i.t rayon buissonnier Papillonner, comme un sourire Sur son beau sein, mouche au rosier.

--Je baisai ses fines chevilles.

Elle eut un long rire tres mal Qui s'egrenait en claires trilles, Une risure de cristal....

Les pet.i.ts pieds sous la chemise Se sauverent: "Veux-tu finir!"

--La premiere audace permise, Le rire feignait de punir!

--Pauvrets palpitant sous ma levre, Je baisai doucement ses yeux: --Elle jeta sa tete mievre En arriere: "Oh! c'est encor mieux!...

"Monsieur, j'ai deux mots a te dire...."

--Je lui jetai le reste au sein Dans un baiser, qui la fit rire D'un bon rire qui voulait bien....

--Elle etait fort deshabillee Et de grands arbres indiscrets, Aux vitres penchaient leur feuillee Malinement, tout pres, tout pres.

The subject matter is older than Ovid, and how many poems has it led to every silliness, every vulgarity! One has no instant of doubt here, nor, I think, in any line of any poem of Rimbaud's. How much I might have learned from the printed page that I have learned slowly from actualities. Or perhaps we never do learn from the page; but are only capable of recognizing the page after we have learned from actuality.

I do not know whether or no Rimbaud "started" the furniture poetry with "Le Buffet"; it probably comes, most of it, from the beginning of Gautier's "Albertus." I cannot see that the "Bateau Ivre" rises above the general level of his work, though many people seem to know of this poem (and of the sonnet on the vowels) who do not know the rest of his work. Both of these poems are in Van Bever and Leautaud. I wonder in what other poet will we find such firmness of coloring and such cert.i.tude.

REMY DE GOURMONT

(1858-1915)

As in prose, Remy de Gourmont found his own form, so also in poetry, influenced presumably by the medieval sequaires and particularly by G.o.ddeschalk's quoted in his (de Gourmont's) work on "Le Latin Mystique,"

he recreated the "litanies." It was one of the great gifts of "symbolisme," of the doctrine that one should "suggest" not "present"; it is, in his hand, an effective indirectness. The procession of all beautiful women moves before one in the "Litanies de la Rose"; and the rhythm is incomparable. It is not a poem to lie on the page, it must come to life in audition, or in the finer audition which one may have in imagining sound. One must "hear" it, in one way or another, and out of that intoxication comes beauty. One does no injustice to De Gourmont by giving this poem alone. The "Litany of the Trees" is of equal or almost equal beauty. The Sonnets in prose are different; they rise out of natural speech, out of conversation. Paul Fort perhaps began or rebegan the use of conversational speech in rhyming prose paragraphs, at times charmingly.
