CHANCE

The word was invented by Guillaume Apollinaire, the poet who introduced chance into poetry: surrealism. Essentially, surrealism has its origins in a fundamental belief in poetry, in the unconditional life force of poetry. It aims at a total liberation of the human condition (une libération totale de l'esprit) and implies a revolt against the existing society.
