Excerpt from Poetic Reveries Stanzas. A young sweet flower just fainting lay, Upon the withering grass, And summer winds had gone away, A pleasant hour to pass, Beside a glittering stream they loved, And often rested near, To catch the bright refreshing drops From waves so blue and clear. And butterflies with plumage bright Went fluttering on their way, And would not linger in their flight, Or stop their heedless play, To give the poor forgotten flower, One wavelet of their wing To fan it into life again, Or shade across it fling.

In this, his last significant work, an admired French philosopher provides extraordinary meditations on the relations between the imagining consciousness and the world, positing the notion of reverie as its most dynamic point of reference. In his earlier book, The Poetics of Space, Bachelard considered several kinds of "praiseworthy space" conducive to the flow of poetic imagery. In Poetics of Reverie he considers the absolute origins of that imagery: language, sexuality, childhood, the Cartesian ego, and the universe. Approaching the psychology of wonder from the phenomenological viewpoint, Bachelard demonstrates the aurgentative potential of all that awareness. Thus he distinguishes what is merely a phenomenon of relaxation from the kind of reverie which "poetry puts on the right track, the track of expanding consciousness"
