  Pontus - LoveToKnow 1911
PONTUS, a name applied in ancient times to extensive tracts of country in the north-east of Asia Minor bordering on the Euxine (Black Sea), which was often called simply Pontos (the Main), by the Greeks.
Hereafter the simple name Pontus without qualification was regularly employed to denote the half of this dual province, especially by Romans and people speaking from the Roman point of view; it is so used almost always in the New Testament.
This region is regarded by the geographer Strabo (A.D. 19-20), himself a native of the country, as Pontus in the strict sense of the term (Geogr.

On the whole his poetry is inferior to that of his companions, but he was one of the first to write sonnets in French (the actual priority belongs to Melin de Saint-Gelais).

Pontus resigned his bishopric in 1594, and retired to the château de Bragny, where he died on the 23rd of September 1605.

 Pierre de Ronsard
Baudouin de Ronsard or Rossart was the founder of the French branch of the house, and made his mark in the early stages of the Hundred Years War.
The Defense et illustration de la langue française of the latter appeared in 1549, and the Pléiade (or Brigade, as it was first called) may be said to have been then launched.
He published his Hymns, dedicated to Marguerite de Savoie[?], in 1555; the conclusion of the Amours, addressed to another heroine, in 1556; and then a collection of Œuvres completes, said to be due to the invitation of Mary Stuart, queen of Francis II, in 1560; with Elegies, mascarades et bergeries in 1565.

 Julie Campbell, TITLE. AGORA, December, 2004.
Regarding the querelle des femmes, the presence of educated, opinionated women in these circles gave a fresh immediacy to the arguments, and the nature of these venues permitted women to join in the debates that arose.
Although Labé was not writing her Débat directly in response to Tyard’s Solitaire premier, she no doubt had such Neoplatonic treatises in mind while writing it, and the two dialogues read together provide an excellent encapsulation of the friction between men’s and women’s views of ideal relationships in love.
Tyard’s depiction of the ideal Neoplatonic beloved Pasithée is greatly at odds with Labé’s critique of human behavior in love that explores and occasionally skewers the actions and beliefs of both women and men.

Poète de l’école lyonnaise, ami intime de Maurice Scève, il marque la transition entre le néo-pétrarquisme de l'école lyonnaise et le lyrisme de la Pléiade à; laquelle il appartient.
Mais les procédés de Pontus de Tyard sont trop souvent artificiels: antithèses, périphrases alambiquées, métaphores subtiles et prolongées, allégories obscures, syllogismes, jeux de mots hermétiques; on a pu, à juste titre, qualifier cette virtuosité rhétorique de décadente, sans pouvoir y distinguer ces éclats de baroquisme qui illuminent, par exemple, la langue claire de Desportes.
En 1551, Pontus de Tyard donne un Chant en faveur de quelques excellens poëtes de ce tems; il y réunit dans un seul hommage tous les «divins esprits», à la fois Marot, Mellin de Saint-Gelais, l’école lyonnaise, Ronsard et Du Bellay.

 Schulers Books (THE RENAISSANCE - 18/26)
The first note of this literary revolution was struck by Joachim du Bellay in a little tract written at the early age of twenty-four, which coming to us through three centuries seems of yesterday, so full is it of those delicate critical distinctions which are sometimes supposed peculiar to modern writers.
We are accustomed to speak of the varied critical and creative movement of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as the Renaissance, and because we have a single name for it we may sometimes fancy that there was more unity in the thing itself than there really was.
He recognised of what force the music and dignity of languages are, how they enter into the inmost part of things; and in pleading for the cultivation of the French language, he is pleading for no merely scholastic interest, but for freedom, impulse, reality, not in literature merely, but in daily communion of speech.

One could not expect any of these authors to pen amatory sonnets throughout their lives; but it would not have been impossible to put the form to other uses, to realise, as Du Bellay had, that it was ideally suited to elegy and to philosophical reflection.
A quasi-epic cycle and a sequence of pièces de circonstances answered this challenge; what is perhaps most surprising is his retention of the sonnet-form in both cases.
Tyard did translate one of the central Neoplatonic texts, the ‘Dialoghi di Amore’ of Leone Ebreo (Judah Abravanel, c.1460-c.1523, published 1535) in 1551.

 Poetry Life and Times, Vallance Review No. 50, October 2005
Conscients de la nécessité d'embellir la langue française, ces jeunes poètes voient dans l'imitation des Anciens une possibilité de réintégrer à la langue française contemporaine des formes classiques des littératures grecque et latine délaissées par le Moyen Âge et ainsi d'en enrichir le vocabulaire.
En dépit du caractère transitoire des civilisations, reste enfin que les grands poètes de la Renaissance et surtout de La Pléiade ont toujours exercé une influence très considérable sur la littérature et la poésie depuis le seizième siècle.
Comme on verra dans la prochaine section de cette introduction [B], bon nombre des poètes collaborateurs au Florilège de la nouvelle Pléiade partagent des idéaux découlant de ceux que les poètes français et anglais de la Renaissance et de l'époque romantique avaient pareillement chéris il y a bien longtemps.

 glbtq >> literature >> French Literature: Before the Nineteenth Century
Although the depiction of lesbian feelings appears very rarely in French love poetry of the sixteenth century, Pierre de Ronsard (1524-1585) and Pontus de Tyard (1521-1605) both composed love poems in which a woman speaks of her love for another female.
The sentiments expressed belong resolutely to the storehouse of commonplaces repeated over and over during the Renaissance in verse addressed to women by men, thus lending no little support to the contention that the portrayal of women loving women would enter an entirely new phase when the author was herself a woman.
Prominent among the libertines are the poets Denis Sanguin de Saint-Pavin, dubbed "the King of Sodom," and Théophile de Viau, whose alleged atheism and sexual activity with other males involved him in a protracted lawsuit.

 HOASM: La Pléiade   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Pléiade was a group of 16th-century French poets whose principal members were Pierre de Ronsard, Joachim du Bellay and Jean-Antoine de Baïf.
Among the names associated with the Pléiade are Etienne Jodelle, Pontus de Tyard, Rémy Belleau,Jacques Peletier du Mans,Jean de la Péruse and Guillaume des Autels, as well as many others hovering around the outer circles of the group.
The ideal was not one of slavish imitation, but of a poet so well-versed in the entire corpus of Ancient literature (Du Bellay uses the metaphor of 'digestion') that he would be able to convert it into an entirely new and rich poetic language in the vernacular.

 [minstrels] The Shrinking Lonesome Sestina -- Miller Williams
Following these was a stanza of three lines, in which the six key words were repeated in the middle and at the end of the lines, summarizing the poem or dedicating it to some person.
In the 19th century, Ferdinand, comte de Gramont, wrote a large number of sestinas, and Algernon Charles Swinburne's "Complaint of Lisa" is an astonishing tour de force-a double sestina of 12 stanzas of 12 lines each.
Watching the message emerge, like a rabbit out of a hat or, perhaps, like a three dimensional image springing into life from a random sea of dots, is nothing short of magical, and adds greatly to the impact of the poem.

 Poetry Life and Times, Vallance Review No. 41, January 2005
Such is not the case with either Samuel Daniel's sonnet or Pontus de Tyard's.
It is at this pivotal point that her sonnet IX corresponds almost exactly with those of Samuel Daniel and Pontus de Tyard in its imagery and in its thematic outlines.
From the date of publication alone of the two sonnets (1573 for Pontus de Tyard's and 1592 for Samuel Daniel's), and in light of the fact that one of these sonneteers is French and the other English, this would seem highly unlikely.

 French poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christine de Pisan was one of the most prolific writers of her age; her "Cité des Dames" is considered a kind of "feminist manifesto".
For some of the members of the Pléiade, the act of the poety itself was seen as a form of divine inspiration (see Pontus de Tyard for example), a possession by the muses akin to romantic passion, prophetic fervor or alcoholic delirium.
Scève's Délie, objet de plus haulte vertu - composed of 449 ten syllable ten line poems (dizains) and published with numerous engraved emblems - is exemplary in its use of amorous paradoxes and (often obscur) allegory to describe the suffering of a lover.
