Excerpt from Poèmes: Les Bords de la Route; Les Flamandes; Les Moines
Une cloche de bourg voisin dit sa complainte, Martèle obstinément l'âpre silence et tinte Que, dans le soir, là - bas, on met en terre un mort.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of poetry, published in 1899, reveals the author's deep fascination with the natural world and the human condition. By the turn of the 20th century, the boundless optimism of the industrial revolution was giving way to profound pessimism. The author's raw and vivid descriptions of his native Flanders explore the impact of this shift on rural communities. While his work has been compared to the French poet Emile Verhaeren, the author's perspective is uniquely his own, drawn from his experiences as an art critic and his deep engagement with the Flemish landscape. This book is a seminal work from a master of symbolism, a powerful elegy on the passing of the old, and a challenge to the dehumanizing impact of modernity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259355519_0
