"Lithuania," by Rupert Brooke, features Barbara Beninger and Jack Gorelick as the peasant parents of Isabel Bolin. The family's meager life and envy for the wealth of the

Professor Moore traced the evolution of symbolism by comparing the early use of symbolism to the simile and the modern use of it to the metaphor.
"The French symbolists, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarme, and Laforgue used language as a form of symbolism." he said. This concentration on language itself is what we find in the most experimental modern poets and novelists.
nam, and W. R. Rodgers, as examples, Prof. Moore read several of their poems and showed how their technique could be traced to the irrational element in romantism. He spoke also of da-daism and surrealism as a logical extension of symbolism, and showed how these nonsensical literary techniques could be seen as part of a long process of development. Over 150 years before William Blake had said, 'I assert for myself that I do not see the outward creation, and that for me it is a hindrance'.
