Charles Cros, French poet, inventor of the phonograph.
“Charles Cros, inventor of the phonograph, was the most popular poet-singer of this kind in mid-19th-century Paris, and his poems spoke for a way of life completely unassimilable by the money-crazy, hypocritical, debauched, and puritanical society of Louis Napoleon’s gimcrack Second Empire.
