Italian original Cite

GUÉRIN, CHARLES. - French poet, b. at Lunéville on 29 Dec. 1873, d. there on 17 March 1907.

The first collections of verse, Fleurs de neige (1893); Joies grises (1894); Le sang des crépuscules (1895), show the influence of Symbolism. His personality asserts itself with Le coeur solitaire (1898), Le semeur de cendres (1901), L'homme intérieur (1905), works that reveal his most intimate feelings and the long travail of his soul, which raised him from skepticism to faith.
