Laforgue

Beardsley's "Under the Hill" was until recently the only successful attempt to produce "anything like Laforgue" in our tongue.

Laforgue was, for four or five years, "reader" to the ex-Kaiser's mama; he escaped and died of la misre.

Sans le moindre soupon d'imitation ou de rminiscences, Jules Laforgue a sauvegard une originalit vivace.

You will hardly find such neatness save in France; such modern neatness, save in Laforgue.

Tout était pour le vieux dans le meilleur des mondes, Laforgue would have cried in the epigram of Paul Bourget.
