Albert Samain
Albert Samain (1858-1900) was a French poet and writer of the Symbolist school.
Born in Lille, Samain published three volumes of verse: Le jardin de l'infante (1893), which made him famous; Aux flancs du vase (1898) and Le Chariot d'or (1901). Samain died of tuberculosis. He was a follower of Paul Verlaine as much as of Charles Baudelaire, and his works disclose a taste for indecisive, vague imagery.
