Vielé-Griffin was educated in France and divided his time between Paris and Touraine. He was a writer of vers libre and founded the highly influential journal Entretiens politiques et littéraires (1890–92).[2] He wrote symbolist and vers-libre poetry. His first collection, Cueille d'avril, appeared in 1885. He practiced a relaxed prosody, which did not take into account the obligatory alternation of masculine and feminine rhymes, the prohibition to rhyme a plural with a singular, replaces the rhyme with an assonance, if not neglected here and there the rhyme or assonancer:

Ne croyez pas

Pour ce qu'avril rit rose

Dans les vergers

Ou palit de l'exces voluptueux des fleurs

Que toutes choses

Sont selon nos gais coeurs

Et qu'il n'est plus une soif a etancher.

Quotes

From “Euphonies” in Cull of April:[3]

I ramble on return from vain lassitudes,

Have we not dreamt of other beatitudes?

From "Dea" in Cull of April:[3]

The rhythm of her voice is my only metric,

And her alternating pace my nuanced rhyme,

My idea is what I read in her thoughts,

Of course, and Iʼve never dreamt of other America

Than to kiss the fiery gold of her lowered head.
