Léon-Paul Fargue (4 March 187624 November 1947) was a French poet and essayist. He was born in Paris, France on rue Coquilliére.〔('jstor.org THE POETRY OF LEON-PAUL FARGUE. By S. A. RHODES.' )〕 As a poet he was noted for his poetry of atmosphere and detail. His work spanned numerous literary movements. Before he reached 19 years of age, Fargue had already published in ''L'Art littéraire'' in 1894 and his important poem Tancrède appeared in the magazine ''Pan'' in 1895. As an opponent of the surrealists, he became a member of the Symbolist poetry circle connected with ''Le Mercure de France.'' Rilke, Joyce and others declared that Fargue was at the very forefront of modern poetry.〔Thompson, p. v〕 He was also a poet of Paris, and later in his career he published two books about the city, ''D'après Paris'' (1931) and ''Le piéton de Paris'' (1939). His earliest work is divided between Paris prowlings and intimate scenes of childhood and nature. He published a book of recollections about his friend, the composer Ravel. He was a member of the Apaches and remained a lifelong friend of Ravel. One of his poems, "Rêves", was set to music by Ravel in 1927. He died 1947 in Paris and is buried in the Cimetière du Montparnasse. Federico Mompou dedicated No. 12 of his ''Cançons i Danses'' to Fargue's memory. == selection of published works == * Poèmes, 1905 * Nocturnes, 1905 * Tancrède, 1911 * Pour la musique, 1912 * Banalité, 1928 * Vulturne, 1928 * Épaisseurs, 1929 * Sous la lamp, 1929 * Loading ion, 1930 * D'après Paris 1932 * Le Piéton de Paris 1939 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Léon-Paul Fargue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
