HORTORUM DEUS - I
II
A richly imagined tableau of myth, history, and nature unfolds across this lyrical anthology, where each poem serves as a miniature trophy of the poet’s craft. From the echoing ruins of ancient Greece to the mournful tides of the Breton sea, the verses weave together heroic sagas, tender reflections, and vivid tableaux of everyday life. The language balances classical allusion with a fresh, precise cadence, inviting listeners to linger on every image, whether it be a solitary shepherd’s song or the whispered lament of a forgotten deity.
The collection also turns inward, offering epigrams and bucolic scenes that capture fleeting moments of love, loss, and quiet devotion. With a steady rhythm that feels both ceremonial and intimate, the poems conjure a timeless dialogue between past and present. This listening experience celebrates the enduring power of poetry to connect us with the wonder of the world and the quiet corners of the human heart.

Born in Cuba and raised in France, he became one of the finest sonnet writers of the French Parnassian movement. His small body of work, especially the collection Les Trophées, earned lasting admiration for its rich imagery and perfect form.
