About the author
Emile Verhaeren
396 books22 followersEmile 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. Inspired by the paintings of Jacob Jordaens, David Teniers and Jan Steen, Verhaeren described in a direct and often provocative, naturalistic way his country and the Flemish people. It was an immediate success in avant-garde milieus, but caused a great deal of controversy in Catholic circles. His next book Les Moines (1886) was not the success he had hoped for. This, and his health problems, led to a deep crisis. In this period he published Les Soirs (1888), Les Débâcles (1888) and Les Flambeaux Noirs (1891).

Les contrastes de la nature, les merveilles de l’univers, les épopées historiques et de multiples états d’esprit sont exprimés avec un lyrisme très touchant dans « La Multiple Splendeur » : un recueil de poèmes de la fine plume d’Emile Verhaeren.
En voici quelques extraits :
L’Arbre
Tout seul,
Que le berce l’été, que l’agite l’hiver,
Que son tronc soit givré ou son branchage vert,
Toujours, au long des jours de tendresse ou de haine,
Il impose sa vie énorme et souveraine
Aux plaines.
L’Europe
Ô la complexe et formidable ardeur
Pour les luttes et les conquêtes
Que l’Europe porte en sa tête
Et thésaurise dans son coeur !
Le Monde
Le monde est fait avec des astres et des hommes.
Là-haut,
Depuis quels temps à tout jamais silencieux,
Là-haut,
En quels jardins profonds et violents des cieux,
Là-haut,
Autour de quels soleils,
Pareils
à des ruches de feux,
Tourne, dans la splendeur de l’espace énergique,
L’essaim myriadaire et merveilleux..
