註釋
Poetry. Translated from the French by Keith Waldrop. Written while Jean Grosjean was a prisoner in the Second World War, Terre du temps, his first book, was published by Gallimard in 1946 and attracted a great deal of attention. It was awarded the Prix de la Pleiade. Between lyric and meditation on Biblical themes, the poems work up to a personal apocalypse. Jean Grosjean was born in 1912. He became a Roman Catholic priest, but left the priesthood in 1950. He is a noted translator from Near Eastern and other languages: the Koran, books of the New and Old Testaments, the Pleiade editions of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Shakespeare. To date, he has published a dozen books of poetry, of which Fils de l'Homme (1954) received the Prix Max Jacob; Elegies (1967), the Prix des Critiques. He is included in Gallimard's popular pocket series "Poesie." He has also published twelve works of fiction. For a number of years, from 1967, he was one of the editors of the Nouvelle Revue francaise. He lives in Versail
