Note 158 — Chapter IX · THE WORK OF ART
Reading edition
Hemsterhuis, Œuvres, i. pp. 14-18, 24, 66 (Lettre sur la sculpture, Lettre sur les désirs). A similar thought was applied by Poe to the fundamental principles in poetic composition and has exercised a great influence on recent literary movements. Cf. Poe, Works, vi. pp. 3-6 (The poetic principle). For a further elaboration of this notion cf. Bourget, Études et portraits, i. pp. 225, 226; Hansson, Kåserier i mystik, pp. 140, 141; Symons, The Symbolist Movement, p. 137 (Stéphane Mallarmé).
