The French writer Gérard de Nerval

• ... the poet Gérard de Nerval (pictured) expected a resurgence of paganism when he wrote The Chimeras? Source: "...colored by Nerval's expectation of the resurgence of an enlightened paganism..." (Appelbaum, Stanley. Introduction to French Poetry)
  • ALT1:... that Gérard de Nerval (pictured) thought his poems from the cycle The Chimeras would "lose their charm" if they were explained? Source: "...ils...perdraient de leur charme à être expliqués..." (Gordon, Rae Beth. "The lyric persona: Nerval's 'El Desdichado'")

• Reviewed: Ode to the Mets

Created by Ffranc (talk). Self-nominated at 10:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC).

• for the ALT hook: the other hook is problematic, since the source has that neopagan thing only for one of the poems. I see no plagiarism, it's long and new enough, and it's a great little article on a book of poems: thank you for writing this up. Drmies (talk) 00:47, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
