Question SA-2. Here is the text reference (p. 151/4):

This is a complex movement, with many roots and manifestations. It had a strong Greco-Roman classical element, but the liveliest influences were French Parnassianism and symbolism. The name of French Parnassianism was derived from Mount Parnassus, the Greek mountain sacred to Apollo and the muses. The tendency emphasized the form of what was written over the social or political content, which was of little interest. Art was "for art's sake", and was frequently disconnected from the real world. Its symbols were the beautiful but cold statues of marble and the swan, an animal of great and pure physical beauty, but of little practical use. The other major root, French symbolism, used poetry to obtain musical effects through the sounds of words and the rhythm of the verse.
