"Yet another conquest of beautiful French language. After Viélé-Griffin, after Stuart Merrill, after Moréas, after Milosz, here is a man who has chosen ours instead of his native idiom."
The friends Francis de Miomandre and Armand Godoy collaborated on several poetry reviews and even wrote together.
For Armand Godoy, the great inspiration was Charles Baudelaire: "A.G.'s worship of Baud. merges with that of poetry itself. With profound intuition, A.G. divined that there was an eternally flowing source. And he plunged into it. It was B. who revealed to him the terrible beauty of inner life."
Fine manuscript extensively corrected by Francis de Miomandre on this Cuban poet conquered by the French language.
