Overview
A French/English bilingual edition about the kinds of love that puzzle, delight, and afflict us throughout our lives, from going on walks with an attractive cousin before Sunday dinner (Nerval) to indulging a granddaughter (Hugo). On the way there's the first yes from lips we love (Verlaine), a sky full of stars reflected fatally in Cleopatra's eyes (Heredia), lying awake waiting for your lover (Valery), and the defeated toys of dead children (Gautier). Covers five centuries, from Ronsard to Valery. Other poets represented include: Baudelaire, Mallarme, Rimbaud, La Fontaine, Laforgue, and Leconte de Lisle.Book Details
