Ancient Poetry

Paul Verlaine est l'auteur d'une poésie empreinte du romantisme du XIXème siècle, mais dégageant déjà une originalité qui fera de lui l'un des initiateurs du symbolisme. Sa poésie, entre ombre et lumière, aux vers parfois torturés, s'inspire notamment d'une vie agitée par sa passion pour Arthur Rimbaud.

Alongside Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud, with whom he had a stormy relationship, Paul Verlaine is one of the most influential poets of the "fin de siècle". He was one of the greatest representatives of the Decadent movement that began in the 1870s, and a leader of the "Symbolists". His stylistic innovations brought a new musicality to French poetry; it was he who paved the way for modern poetry with its experiments in free verse and new techniques.

Walt Whitman : ce poète et humaniste fut à l'origine des plus grandes pages de poésie des temps modernes. Elles eurent pour créateur un solitaire américain poussé comme un gratte-ciel dans un désert inculte de maisons à bas étages. Whitman est considéré comme un des deux piliers de la poésie américaine du XIXe siècle, avec Emily Dickinson. Sa voix résolument américaine suscite des émotions vives grâce au vers libre et à la force hypnotique de la répétition ; il clame sensualité et liberté dans une langue populaire, et chaque poème est une leçon de vie, un incontournable de la poésie telle qu'on ne l'apprend pas à l'école.

Contrairement aux imitateurs qui ne faisaient que caricaturer grossièrement Aristide Bruant, Paulo du "lapin Agile" est entré réellement dans l'esprit des textes et a appris à les dire à la grande satisfaction du chansonnier qui l'a reconnu comme "son seul élève". Après cette passation, Paulo transmit tout naturellement le témoin à son beau fils Yves Mathieu. Connaissant les textes sur le bout des doigts, Yves a apporté à l'œuvre de Bruant son propre son, sa verve, sa force de conviction et son amour de la langue.

Les textes qui composent cet enregistrement, pièces de théâtre, poèmes, et extraits de recueils, choisis par l'auteur, sont autant de jalons dans cette difficile conquête. "'L'incessant' met en présence un homme et une femme qui s'affrontent avec âpreté. Cet homme et cette femme sont en chacun de nous. À certains moments de crise, ils se déchirent, nous harcèlent. Mais la décision qui clôt le débat n'est jamais définitive. À tout instant elle peut être remise en cause. Alors l'affrontement recommence."

An all-star cast including John Gielgud, Edith Evans, Anthony Quayle, and Peggy Ashcroft come together to read all 154 Sonnets.

Charles Baudelaire is one of the greatest French poets. His most famous work, Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil), was deemed scandalous at the time because of its themes of sex and death, lesbianism, corruption, wine, and the oppressiveness of living. Its powerful imagery and ravaging use of the senses had many name him an unequaled master; the effect on fellow artists was "immense, prodigious, unexpected, mingled with admiration and with some indefinable anxious fear", while the regime of the Second Empire had Baudelaire prosecuted and fined for his "insult to public decency".

Esta es una colección de 24 poemas de la poeta Americana más famosa de la lengua inglesa. Emily Dickinson fue una poeta fenomenal, no sólo por sus artes innovadoras sino por su historia personal, la imagen que la vida formó en ella, y que le dio el aura de leyenda. Sus extraordinarios poemas no respetan las reglas tradicionales de la poesía, y la gran mayoría carece de título.

El padre de La isla del tesoro solo llegó a publicar dos libros de poemas en vida, pero dejó muchos inéditos. Hacia tierras lejanas recoge una selección de los versos más representativos de su poesía sencilla y cercana, en un estilo directo, realista y melancólico. Minado por una enfermedad temprana, Stevenson se tambaleó durante toda su vida entre la nostalgia y la alegría. Sin embargo, sus versos conjuran paraísos de libertad, parajes entre el sueño y la realidad que maravillan al lector con la misma magia de esas islas, tesoros y piratas que nos cautivaron cuando éramos niños.
