Summary "Émaux et camées" by Théophile Gautier is a collection of poems written in the late 19th century. This work blends vivid imagery with themes of beauty, art, and the transient nature of life and love. Through Gautier's exquisite verses, readers encounter a tapestry of emotions and reflections on humanity. The opening of "Émaux et camées" presents a lyrical and introspective tone, where the poet draws upon classical references and natural imagery. In the preface, Gautier reflects on creating his work amidst the chaos of war, drawing a parallel to earlier poets who found solace in their art. The first few poems evoke sensuous beauty, celebrating feminine allure, nature, and the delicate interplay between life and decay. The poet’s exploration of these themes captures both the allure and the ephemeral nature of existence, setting the stage for the richness and depth of the verses that follow.
