2) In terms of scientific knowledge of the universe, then:
In his remarkable book, Jules Supervielle poet's inner world, Paris, Jean Flory, 1939, Christian wrote Sénéchal this: Without
be classified as "scientific poets," Jules Supervielle is yet of all his contemporaries, we offer the world the image most consistent with the findings and assumptions of the latest science. Without a word is never even alluded to a scientific conception, the poet's intuition is consistent with astronomy, physics and biology today. We pointed out the tremendous momentum that Supervielle received a book popularizing astronomy. But the poet has made to science its benefits by freeing their minds from earthly ties and allowing them to better understand, through emotion, the full extent of the conquests of the telescope and stellar chemistry. There is more: it is the essence of biology that we sense in the vision of moving body-universe which advance, carrying a thousand lives up to the creation of stones, trees, beasts and men and which, like everything that exists, remain subject to vertigo of eternal birth - and that is the essence of physics that we find in the abolition of restrictions and the belief in the unity and the permanence of the forces of moral and physical universe, which make the work Supervielle projection, in the poetic nature of dreams and emotions, the design of a "Noosphere" - the word is from P. Teilhard de Chardin - which would focus at the forefront of sidereal energy, human energy spiritualized, the living and the dead. (P. 233-234)
I, myself, took my distance on this point, with what Christian Sénéchal, not rejecting them, far from it. Convergence he sees between poetry and Supervielle major advances of modern science is irrefutable. But the poetic language can not be satisfied, to me, to accompany or anticipate major discoveries of knowledge. He is of another order. It why the real Supervielle modernity - one that transcends time and reaches a kind of universal - seems to raise a third plane, metaphysics.
