The ChimerasGerard de NervalTranslated by Peter Jay
Gérard de Nerval’s sonnets Les Chimères were first published as a group in 1854, a year before his suicide at the age of 46. The poems were nearly a dozen years in the making, and their genius was slow to be accepted. Now they are generally regarded as a key work in nineteenth-century poetry, linking romanticism and symbolism. The tributes to Nerval come from writers as different as Proust, Arthur Symons and T.S. Eliot, who quoted him in the last lines of The Waste Land. |
