About this eBook

Author Parny, Évariste, 1753-1814
Title Poésies érotiques
Summary "Poésies érotiques" by Évariste Parny is a collection of erotic poetry written in the late 18th century. This work explores themes of love, desire, and human passion, reflecting the cultural attitudes towards sensuality in a time when such topics were often veiled in metaphor and subtlety. Parny's poetry stands out for its lyrical beauty and emotional depth, addressing intimate experiences with charm and delicacy. In "Poésies érotiques," the poet expresses his longing and encounters with love through a series of evocative verses primarily directed towards his muse, Éléonore. The poems navigate the complexities of young love, mingling admiration with the apprehensions of desire, often drawing imagery from nature to enhance the sensual exploration. Parny employs a playful tone to discuss the fleeting nature of attraction, the joys of intimacy, and the bittersweet nature of love's impermanence. Additionally, the work critiques societal norms about love and virtue, suggesting that the pursuit of pleasure is a natural and intrinsic part of the human experience. Through this collection, Parny captures the essence of romance and desire with both sincerity and a lighthearted, yet profound, touch. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
