René-Guy Cadou

René Guy Cadou est un poète français, né le 15 février 1920 à Sainte-Reine-de-Bretagne en Loire-Atlantique et décédé le 20 mars 1951 à Louisfert également en Loire-Atlantique. Né en 1920 à Sainte Reine de Bretagne, au cœur du marais de Grande Brière il est fils d’instituteurs laïques et vit une enfance heureuse. Il grandit dans une ambiance de préaux d’écoles, de rentrées des classes, de beauté des automnes, de scènes de chasse et de vie paysanne qui deviendront plus tard une source majeure de son inspiration poétique : « Mon père s’y plaisait en costume de chasse, Nous y avions de tendres rendez-vous… » Puis viendra à l’adolescence, le départ à Nantes pour le lycée, la mort de sa mère Anna, qui plongera l’adolescent dans une mélancolie profonde. La nostalgie de Sainte Reine et de cette enfance terrienne, végétale et heureuse hantera plus tard sa poésie lyrique.

Théodore de Banville

Etienne Jean Baptiste Claude Théodore Faullain de Banville, né le 14 mars 1823 à Moulins (Allier) et mort le 13 mars 1891 à Paris, est un poète, dramaturge et critique français. Célèbre pour les Odes funambulesques et les Exilés, il est surnommé le poète du bonheur. Ami de Victor Hugo, de Charles Baudelaire et de Théophile Gautier, il est considéré dès son vivant comme l’un des plus éminents poètes de son époque. Il a notamment découvert le talent naissant d’Arthur Rimbaud. Banville unit dans son œuvre le romantisme et le parnasse (dont il fut l’un des chefs de file). Il professait un amour exclusif de la beauté et la limpidité universelle de l’acte poétique, s’opposant à la fois à la poésie réaliste et à la dégénérescence du romantisme, face auxquelles il affirmait sa foi en la pureté de la création artistique. Œuvres * 1843, Les Cariatides (recueil de poésie), salué par Charles Baudelaire. * 1846, Les Stalactites (recueil de poésie). * 1856, Odelettes (recueil de poésie) * 1857,...

Anna Sewell

Anna Sewell (30 March 1820 – 25 April 1878) was an English novelist, best known as the author of the classic novel Black Beauty. Anna Mary Sewell was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England into a devoutly Quaker family. Her father was Isaac Phillip Sewell (1793-1879), and her mother, Mary Wright Sewell (1798 - 1884) was a successful author of children's books. Anna Sewell had one sibling, a younger brother named Philip Sewell. Anna Sewell was largely educated at home. When Anna was twelve years old, the family moved to Stoke Newington, where Sewell attended school for the first time. Two years later, however, she slipped while walking home from school and severely injured both of her ankles. Her father took a job in Brighton in 1836, partly in the hope that the climate there would help to cure her. Despite this, and most likely because of mistreatment of her injury, for the rest of her life Anna was unable to stand without a crutch or to walk for any length of time. For greater...

Miroslav Antici

Miroslav "Mika" Antiæ (March 14, 1932 – June 24, 1986) was a Serbian poet, journalist and painter. Antiæ was born in Mokrin, Vojvodina, Serbia (then Yugoslavia). He wrote poems, articles, dramas, movie and TV scripts and documentaries. Mika also acted in several movies, and was an amateur painter. His best known poem is "Srem", in which he mourns for dead in World War II and describes the beauty of Srem using "beæarac" song form. He is well known as a bohemian. Mika Antiæ is best known as a children and youth poet, a master of delicate and gentle sentiments. His bohemian, hard-drinking lifestyle is best illustrated by a barely translatable pun about him: "Èika Jova deci, èika Mika Antiæ dva deci" "Èika Jova deci" meaning "Mister Jova to the children", referring to Jovan Jovanoviæ Zmaj, a known children's poet. "Èika Mika Antiæ dva deci" means "Mister Mika Antiæ two deciliters", referring to drinking from a glass, likely of alcohol.

Anvari

Anvari (1126–1189), full name Awhad ad-Din 'Ali ibn Mohammad Khavarani or Awhad ad-Din 'Ali ibn Mahmud was one of the greatest Persian poets. He was born in Abivard of (now in Turkmenistan) and died in Khurasanian Balkh, now in Afghanistan, and studied science and literature at the collegiate institute in Tun (now Firdaus, Iran), becoming a famous astronomer as well as a poet. Anvari's poems were collected in a Deewan, and contains panegyrics, eulogies, satire, and others. His elegy "Tears of Khorasan", translated into English in 1789, is considered to be one of the most beautiful poems in Persian literature. The Cambridge History of Iran calls Anvari "one of the greatest figures in Persian literature". Despite their beauty, his poems often required much help with interpretation, as they were often complex and difficult to understand. Anvari's panegyric in honour of the Seljuk sultan Sultan Sanjar (1117–1157), ruler of Khorasan, won him royal favour, and allowed him to go on to enjoy...
