Stuart Merrill

Stuart Merrill (1863-1915) was a American poet, born in Hampstead, New York[?], who wrote in the French language. He belonged to the Symbolist school.

Educated in Paris, he became a student of Old French[?] texts and was a great admirer of Algernon Charles Swinburne. His principal books of poetry were Les Gammes (1887). Les Fastes (1891), and Petits Poèmes d'Automne (1895).

Quotation:

Fume l'encens, veille l'amour,
Dans son lit bleu la vierge est morte;
Couve le feu, tombe le jour,
L'Ange, mes soeurs, frappe à la porte.

--- La Mystérieuse Chanson
