THE BOOK OF
FROGS
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF GLORY
The Frogs get another shot at glory
Chapter 30
Frog poetry was great too.
2Frogs like bRacine and cCorneille wrote dtragedies in verse,
3Completely in French,
4Until they died.
5This brilliant accomplishment paved the way for the French invention of esymbolist poetry,
6Which was a spectacular achievement,
7Borrowed only partially from fEdgar Allan Poe,
8And represented a new Frog view of the world in the wake of the gFranco-Prussian thing.
9Great Frog poets like hBaudelaire and iVerlaine and jRimbaud saw that when you looked beneath the surface of things,
10Things looked different.
11This great artistic discovery helped start the great Frog impressionist movement in art and music,
12Because the Frogs were every bit as great at art and music as they were at literature.
