Abstract

A French Soldier Poet
Dewey, Stoddard | January 31, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

In this article, the author publishes few translations of poems by a French poet in Morocco, Alfred Droin. His book was crowned by the French Academy, as was also a previous volume, which besides won the Francois Coppée prize. The war has come, and the soldier poet has been called to take his part in it. He has written more poems in the sad, heroic hours, and these are now gathered into another volume -- Le Crépe étoilé. The author has tried to make his choice of the verses typical and to follow, in a very literal and translinear English version, the rhythm of words and thought as far as he is able.
