"You will find few words in Valery that end in i-s-m; and those that he does use he brings in only to mock. Symbolism is an example, for 'Symbolist' was the label attached to the poets clustered around Mallarme when he, Valery, was young. 'It is impossible to think seriously with such words as Classicism, Romanticism, Humanism, Realism, and the other -isms. You can't get drunk or quench your thirst with the labels on bottles.'"

--Joseph Epstein, from Joseph Tartatovsky's review in the Claremont Review of Books
