Leconte de Lisle, French poet. He was born on the Indian Ocean Island of Réunion and settled in Paris in 1846. He played an important part in formulating the aims of the anti-Romantic group Les Parnassiens and became their acknowledged leader. His work, characterized by classic regularity and faultlessness of form, drew inspiration from the ancient world; it includes Poèmes antiques/Antique Poems (1852), Poèmes barbares/Barbaric Poems (1862), and Poèmes tragiques/Tragic Poems (1884). Although he advocated impassivity, his poems express a pessimistic awareness of the transitoriness of things.
