Abstract

In the following paper we suggest the hypothesis that there exists a direct influence exerted by Leconte de Lisle and the entire Parnassian group in the poetics of Rubén Darío. We lay the foundations of this artistic correspondence by referring to a travel made by the Nicaraguan poet, in 1893, in which he visited Paris and made contact with the Parnassian leaders. We contemplate as well that this influence is visible in the utilisation of images related to the Ancient Greece, a very common topic among the Parnassian poets; Darío would have implemented this subject with a symbolic role to his own poems since the formerly mentioned travel to France. In order to illustrate that, we will take as a reference the compilations Poèmes Antiques by Leconte de Lisle and Prosas profanas y otros poemas by Darío; Darío’s book has been chosen because of its publication date: 1896, right after the stay in Paris.
