This is the first English-language edition of the work, by the pre-eminent French Symbolist poet, whose dreamy style recollects Rimbaud, and also, strangely, Wallace Stevens. Griffin was born in the U.S., but emigrated with his mother to France at the age of seven or eight, not long after the Civil War ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poetry speaks for itself: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe turrets that covered Her with their shadow\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRose like organ pipes against the sky, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThose evenings in June, with countless voices;\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd, really, all the music\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThat vibrated on the terraces rich in honey, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThroughout that slow, sun-drenched June, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWas like one long canticle, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOf many voices, filled with wonder...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* * *\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn an odor of tossed hay, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn a murmur of the rustic ford, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThrough the diaphanous shade, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCome: oblique shadow, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe hay smells of love, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe waterʼs song is tender, silent, grave\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLike a distant canticle\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cem\u003eThe year has made its round.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francis Vielé-Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1955392390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955392396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunny Lou Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Francis Vielé-Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742700417279,"sku":"9781955392396","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ride-of-yeldis-and-francis-vielzs-griffin-9781955392396","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
