  Charles Marie René Leconte de Lisle Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
The French poet Charles Marie René Leconte de Lisle (1818-1894), a leader of the group of poets called the Parnassians, was famed for the sonorous and brilliantly visual qualities of his poetry.
Charles Marie Leconte de Lisle was born in Saint-Paul on the Île de la Réunion, an overseas department of France, on Oct. 22, 1818.
In fact, many of Leconte de Lisle's finest poems depict exotic animals and landscapes (deserts, jungles, mountains, and seas), and a recurrent note in his verses combines the representation of alien lands or distant times with the emptiness of the human situation in an unfeeling universe of illusion and change.

 Charles-Marie-René Leconte de Lisle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles-Marie-René Leconte de Lisle (October 22, 1818 - July 17, 1894), was a French poet of the Parnassian movement.
In Leconte de Lisle the Parnassian movement seems to crystallize.
The interval which is his he accepts with something of the defiance of his own Cain, refusing to fill it with the triviality of happiness, waiting even upon beauty with a certain inflexible austerity.

L'art de Leconte de Lisle doit se comprendre en réaction à celui des Romantiques.
Le poète doit aussi, selon Leconte de Lisle, s'appuyer sur les connaissances scientifiques de son temps et il est vrai que l'imagination qui ressort de poèmes comme Le Vase ou Le Coeur de Hialmar ne se déploie jamais en désaccord avec ce qu'apprennent les travaux des historiens du dix-neuvième siècle.
Leconte de Lisle est mort à Louveciennes en 1894.

 The Latin Theatre - The Theatre Of Antiquity And The Modern Stage
IN FRANCE.—Ancient Tragedy at the Odéon and the Comédie-Française—Les Erynnies of Leconte de Lisle in;the Roman theatre of Orange—Adaptation of the plays of Aristophanes, Plautus, and Terence to the French stage.
In 1873 the distinguished poet Leconte de Lisle obtained a representation at the Odéon of his famous tragedy, Les Erynnies, a very original work, the subject of which was taken from the trilogy of Aeschylus—The Agamemnon, The Eumenides, The Libation Bearers.
Far from modifying the horror of the Antique Drama, Leconte de Lisle has exaggerated it by making his Erynnies a condensation of all that was most violent in the Greek theatre, and suppressing whatever in Aeschylus' tragedy had palliated the barbarism of the other parts.

 Roussel: Songs, opus 44   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
These works include the ballets Bacchus et Ariane and Aeneas, the lyric tale La naissance de la lyre, and the two sets of melodies entitled Odes anacreontique.
They share a general similarity of style with the Odes anacreontiques, for which Roussel used a translation by the same Leconte de Lisle.
The Deux Idylles are also settings of translations by Leconte de Lisle, this time of poems by Theocritus and Moskhos, and they display the same clarity of outline and economy of texture as the earlier odes.
