Structural Polyphony
In lyrical poetry, to be sure, we find numerous examples of a development suggesting a simple figure, a perceptible curve. But the types are always very elementary. When I speak of composition, I have in mind poems in which an attempt is made to equal the masterly complexity of music by introducing "harmonic" relationships, symmetries, contrasts, correspondences, etc., between their parts. - Paul Valéry
