The latter seems in effect to be the archetypal Parnassian, his poetry purely formalist. But his collection Les Chimères is marked by the affirmation of a “materialist future” which is also found in Rimbaud’s letter. And his love poetry, notably L’Idole, speaks truthfully of sex. These are all reasons to make of him a “visionary”, in the sense this word had in the context of the nineteenth century.
