Without symbolism there can be no literature; indeed, not even language. What are words themselves but symbols, almost as arbitrary as the letters which compose them, mere sounds of the voice to which we have agreed to give certain significations, as we have agreed to translate these sounds by those combinations of letters?

Autorenporträt
A British poet, writer, and critic Arthur Symons was a part of the Decadent and Symbolist movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Milford Haven, Wales, on February 28, 1865, Symons made a big impact on English literature with his avant-garde and well-respected works. After receiving his education in France, Symons attended the University of Oxford. His lyrical style was profoundly affected by his exposure to French Symbolist poetry, especially the poetry of Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine. In English literature, Symons had a significant role in the introduction and popularization of Symbolist and Decadent concepts. His writings frequently explored the creations of modern authors and artists, furthering English-speaking readers' comprehension of European literature. As a representative of the Symbolist and Decadent movements, Arthur Symons leaves a lasting legacy. His literary criticism and poetry contributions are still researched and valued for their impact on modernist literature.
