[Haskell-cafe] Temlpate Haskell: [d| ... |]

Can someone elaborate on what a list means here? Neither

declarations = [d| 
    foo = "bar"
    bar = "foo" 
|]

nor

declarations = [d| 
    [ foo = "bar"
    , bar = "foo" 
    ]
|]

work. I'm trying to automatically generate a bunch of functions out of
an xml file.
