Reviewing and synthe- sizing critical engagement with Barnesian decadence from the 30s through the present, I suggest that decadent style for Barnes should be understood as primarily a function of her ornate similes, which sever tenor from vehicle.

The effect of surprise caused by an expression that seems inadequate, or even by a systematic mismatch between form and content, is a consequence of the combination of the two stages.

Bernheimer This is insightful but imprecise; a poetic prose is not, after all, necessarily a decadent one.

I will return to this possibility below. Because of this, Felix found her presence painful, and yet a happiness. Thinking of her, visualizing her, was an extreme act of the will; to recall her after she had gone, however, was as easy as the recollection of a sensation of beauty without its details. When she smiled the smile was only in the mouth and a little bitter: the face of an incurable yet to be stricken with its malady.

Sliding down she went; down, her hair swinging, her arms held out, and the dog stood there, rearing back, his forelegs slanting; his paws trembling under the trembling of his rump, his hackle standing; his mouth open, his tongue slung sideways over his sharp bright teeth; whining and waiting.

When we are born, we are but born to the liberty of the house — all our life is but a going out to the place of execution and death.

Now was there ever any man seen to sleep in the Cart, between Newgate and Tyburn? Between the prison and the place of execution, does any man sleep? Works Cited Azzarello, Robert.
