Emile Adolphe Gustave Verhaeren (sometimes spelled Émile) was a Belgian poet who wrote in the French language, and one of the chief founders of the school of Symbolism.

He was one of the most prolific poets of his era. His first collection of poems Les Flamandes was published in 1883.

Quotes by Emile Verhaeren (?)
