Who were the symbolist poets? what were they trying to achieve?

The symbolist artists were Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, and the Stephane Mallarme. They were attempting to discover dialect that grasped the mysterious, the suggestive, and the inescapable universe of the senses. Baudelaire credited with authoring the expression "advancement" to assign the brief, fleeting background of life in a urban city, and the duty workmanship needs to catch that experience.
