Emile Verhaeren

Emile Verhaeren (1855-1916) was a Belgian poet writing in the French language, and one of the chief founders of the school of Symbolism.

He was one of the most prolific poets of his era. Les Soirs (1887), Les Débâcles (1888), Les Campagnes hallucinées (1893), and Les Villes tentaculaires (1895) are just a few of the highlights of his œuvre.

Quotation

Et ce Londres de fonte et de bronze, mon âme,
Où des plaques de fer claquent sous des hangars,
Où des voiles s'en vont, sans Notre-Dame
Pour étoile, s'en vont, là-bas, vers les hazards.

---Londres, from Les Soirs
