“İyinin de, kötünün de bize işlemediği bir durum söz konusu olabilir. O zaman, boşlukta kendi kendine çalarak duygularımızı belirten, sessizlik içinde kaybolup giden ezgiler çıkaran bir org sebepsiz yere coşkulara tutulur, hiçbir melodi yaratmadan sesler çıkarmaya başlar. Yokluğun faydasızlığına başkaldıran bir ruhun içine düştüğü bir çeşit çelişkidir bu, müthiş bir çelişki. Bilinmez bir yaradan kan boşanması gibi, besinsiz kalmış gücümüzün akıp gittiği birtakım yorucu oyunlar.”

“Thus, Symbolism and Decadence are not a separate new school which arose in France and spread throughout all of Europe: they represent the end and culmination of a certain other school whose links were very extensive and whose roots go back to the beginning of the modern age. Symbolism, easily deduced from Maupassant, can also be deduced from Zola, Flaubert, and Balzac, from Ultra-realism as the antithesis of the previous Ultra-idealism Romanticism and "renascent" Classicism. It is precisely this element of ultra - the result of ultra manifested in life itself, in its mores, ideas, proclivities, and aspirations - that has wormed into literature and remained there ever since, expressing itself, finally, in such a hideous phenomenon as Decadence and Symbolism. The ultra without its referent, exaggeration without the exaggerated object, preciosity of form conjoined with total disappearance of content, and "poetry" devoid of rhyme, meter, and sense - that is what constitutes Decadence.”
