  Perse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Perse (also Persa or Perseis) was a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, therefore one of the three-thousand Oceanids.
Due to unfortunate coincidence, "perse" is an obscene word in both Finnish and Estonian (meaning the backside of a human), which has given Finnish children studying Greek mythology many a guffaw.
Perse (Pērse) is a river and a waterfall in Koknese manor park, Aizkraukles county, Latvia.

 Romanic Review: Forged Genealogies: Saint-John Perse's Conversations with Culture
Rigolot's work is "erases," for she attempts to show in each of her analyses that as Perse "conversed" with his literary predecessors, he systematically erased their names and all obvious reference to their works, leaving their mark behind only between the lines, in the reactions they provoked in the poet's texts.
In her chapter on Oiseaux, in which she postulates a conversation between Saint-John Perse and the ornithological plates of Jean-Jacques Audubon, rather than with the paintings of birds by Georges Braque that accompanied the text, and in her chapter on Vents, in which she suggests a conversation between Perse and Walt Whitman, Ms.
Perse had the same kind of 'immense regard créole' he attributed to Audubon, and shared with him a kinship forged from similar backgrounds and parallel itineraries.

 St. John Perse
Saint John Perse (1887-1975), the pseudonym of Marie-René-Auguste-Aléxis Saint-Léger was born on St Léger des Feuilles islet of Guadeloupe in the French Antilles.

 Saint-John Perse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The language of his poetry, admired especially by poets for its precision and purity, is difficult, and he made little appeal to the general public.
For some, Saint-John Perse is the embodiment of the French national spirit: intellectual yet passionate, deeply conscious of the tragedy of life, a man of affairs with an artist's feeling for perfection and symmetry.
Saint-John Perse's life and work are examined in René Galand, Saint-John Perse (1972); Erika Ostrovsky, Under the Sign of Ambiguity: Saint-John Perse/Alexis Leger (1985); and Steven Winspur, Saint-John Perse and the Imaginary Reader (1988).

 Quilts in Broderie Perse
Motifs of this kind are more likely to be found in decorator fabrics today, although some cottons have been printed specially for this purpose.
The designs are placed evenly on both left and right sides of the quilt with a larger motif in the center.
After much arranging and re-arranging, I decided there was NO WAY I was going to get the two sides of the piece symmetrical, so I simply chose a setting that was pleasing to ME and fused everything in place.
