Jose Maria de Heredia
Heredia was a Cuban-born French poet. He was known as a Parnassian poet. Parnassian was a French literary style that began during the positivist period of the 19th century.
Being of that league, his poems were on ‘exotic and (neo-)classical subjects’ and the sentimentality in his writings was minimal.
Death Of The Eagle Poem by Jose Maria de Heredia
He rises. Sparks in torrents he inspires.
Still up, in proud, calm flight, he glories where
The storm breeds lightnings in its inmost lair;
Whereat his wings are smit by their fierce fires.
