"Corps féminin qui tant est tendre", gémissait le pauvre Villon. Emmêlant le blé à la cuisse, le lierre au torse, la colline à la croupe et le vent de la plaine aux baisers, les poètes du XVIe siècle - qui ont payé chacun de leur mot - nous livrent l'éblouissante image d'une création réconciliée où les termes de "corps" et "d'esprit" savent ne plus aller en s'opposant. Ils sont nos seuls poètes royaux parce qu'ils sont seuls à donner la recette qui permet à chacun de regarder le monde, la mort et le plaisir "à hauteur d'homme".

La poésie amoureuse serait née avec Orphée qui, accompagné de sa lyre, chanta son amour à la belle Eurydice... De l'Antiquité à nos jours, dire l'amour n'a cessé d'être la préoccupation des écrivains et poètes.

The question is asked by each of us, but the answer remains elusive. Dictionaries summon up many words, but none fulfill. Love itself is often ethereal, felt but only seen in a glance, a look, a fleeting touch. Part of love’s beauty is perhaps in the fact that the question never can be adequately answered; it's ephemeral, a chimera of the heart and only felt. Our own experiences are unique and personal to ourselves and of little help defining it for another.

Today perhaps we all agree that youth is spoilt, ill-disciplined and in search of constant and instant gratification. No matter how much we love them, our children, as they mature from child to youth, are pampered. A century ago, and even further back, even the most privileged of youth was rarely indulged. In this volume we look at those years of youth through the eyes and pens of classic poets. They reveal times of hardship, of fear, of love and loss.

For students of Middle English, Andrew and Waldron's The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript has been the key edition of the four Pearl poems for over 30 years.

The near-literal translations are intended to facilitate understanding of the four poems - to lead readers to, rather than away from, the original texts.
