FEMMES RÊVÉES - ALBERT FERLAND - Préface de M. Louis Fréchette Lauréat de l'Académie française. - MDCCCXCIX
Femmes Rêvées
A tender meditation unfolds in this lyrical tribute to the women who have haunted poets’ imaginations for centuries. The opening pages set a modest, reflective tone, as the author balances admiration with restraint, offering verses that echo the quiet intimacy of whispered reveries rather than overt confession. Through subtle allusions to classical art and myth, the poems invite listeners to sense the timeless interplay of beauty, longing, and the delicate melancholy that accompanies love’s shadows.
The collection moves gracefully from the marble ideals of ancient sculpture to the fragrant sighs of distant gardens, painting each “dreamed” woman with a distinct hue—whether it be the fiery gaze of a Florentine muse or the hushed grace of an Asian night. Listeners will discover a voice that celebrates feminine allure without excess, preferring nuanced texture over grandiosity, and will be drawn into a serenade of gentle reflections that linger long after the final line fades.
