Quotation
Et ce Londres de fonte et de bronze, mon âme,
Où des plaques de fer claquent sous des hangars,
Où des voiles s'en vont, sans Notre-Dame
Pour étoile, s'en vont, là-bas, vers les hazards.
---Londres, from Les Soirs

Selected poems by Verhaeren (in French): http://poesie.webnet.fr/auteurs/verhaere.html
In accordance with the wish expressed by Verhaeren before his death, his body, which is at present in a Rouen hospital, will be conveyed to La Panne, a small Flemish town in the unoccupied territory of Belgium, where the burial will take place.
Indeed, if with Verhaeren's death Belgium has been deprived of her spiritual Leader and King, so also has the poetry of little things lost in him the supreme light of its triumphant power, the loftiest might of its prophetic designs and of its expression.
The genius Verhaeren must in every conceivable degree be considered as the first of contemporary artists, not only for the incomparable mastery of his art, but, far more significantly, for the extraordinary fullness of his inner experience.
EmileVerhaeren (Sint-Amands May 21, 1855 – Rouen November 27, 1916) was a Belgian poet who wrote in the French language, and one of the chief founders of the school of Symbolism.
EmileVerhaeren came in frequent contact with young, radical writers and artists at a time of artistic renewal.
When EmileVerhaeren died on 27 November1916 at Rouen station (by falling under a train), it was Théo van Rysselberghe and his friend, the famous French writer (and later Nobel Prize winner) André Gide who had to inform Marthe Verhaeren of the tragic death of her husband.
