Abstract
There is no doubt that Poèmes par un riche amateur (1908), with the poems of Valery Larbaud�s heteronym has contributed to the renewal of lyric poetry exhausted with the decline of French symbolism. A lyric poetry that takes its inspiration along the new geographical spaces railed by the frenetic train courses across the European continent and a renewal of poetry too, since the diction of the poet�s self is orchestrated by the jerking of the journey and the imaginary whims of a sensitive being in the search for his �lost soul� holds our interest because of its groundbreaking features. The poet looking for the �Invisible Beauty� invites us to join him in the textual adventure through the text in itself and through the weaving texts.
