The prosaic fragment or the poem in the prose of Aubrey Beardsley

Two prosaic extracts from the books «The Celestial Love» (1897) and «The Woods of Auffray» (published in 1904) of the famous English graphic artist of the end of the XIX century Aubrey Beardsley are analyzed. Its relational independence, small volume, reprises and parallelism which create the musical rhythm allow us to refer them to the genre of the poem in the prose. The basis prosaic plot connects with the lyrical beginning.
