Corbière was not as far removed from other poets as he claimed. There is substantial evidence of his relationship with the Parnassians, which is confirmed by the intertextuality of Les Amours jaunes. He sometimes used Parnassian poems, such as those in Les Contemplations and LaLégende des siècles, not to ridicule their authors, but to take aim at other targets through the parodic differences established between his poems and their models, in the manner of Théodore de Banville in Odes funambulesques.
