thumb Oswald Durand (September 17, 1840 - April 22, 1906) was a Haitian poet and politician, said to be "to Haiti what Shakespeare is to England and Dante to Italy."〔P. Schutt-Ainé, ''Haiti: A Basic Reference Book'', 95〕 Among his most famous works are ''Choucoune'', a lyrical poem praising the beauty of a Haitian woman, and ''Chant National'', a lyrical historic poem which became as popular as the presidential hymn. Born in Cap-Haïtien, Durand worked as a teacher before being elected to Congress in 1885, a position to which he was re-elected six times. He was involved with several periodicals and newspapers, serving as advisor, writer, and, in a few cases, founder. == Selected works == * ''Rires et Pleurs'' - published 1897 * ''Choucoune'' - published 1883 * ''Chant National'' * ''Ces Allemands'' - published 14 June 1872 * ''Pantoum Triste'' * ''La Mort de nos Cocotiers'' 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「Oswald Durand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
