Round 10: Tossup 18

A work promoting this movement includes a mock drama in which “Erato” defends this movement against the detractor Theodore de Banville. “The Peacocks” author Gustave Kahn co-founded a periodical for publishing works from this movement. A foundational poem for this movement (10[1])opens by describing nature as a temple with “living pillars” (10[1])and man wandering a forest of this movement’s central objects. The influence of synesthesia on this movement is reflected (-5[1])in a poem in which each vowel (-5[1])is associated with (10[1])a specific (10[2])color.
