Emblems Of Desire - Selections from the Delie of Maurice Sceve (Paperback)

"Richard Sieburth has performed a miracle of literary invention. He has made these poems sing."-Paul Auster

A forgotten masterpiece of French poetry, Emblems of Desire is a selection of 449 love poems first published in Lyons in 1544. Full of passionate ironies and charged obscurity, Maurice ScA]ve is considered a sixteenth-century StA(c)phane MallarmA(c). His oblique self-portraiture laid the groundwork for many contemporary poets. Poet Michael Palmer calls Richard Sieburth "one of our finest living scholars and translators."

Maurice ScA]ve (c.1500c.1564) was at the center of Lyonnese cAterie that elaborated the theory of spiritual love.
