Jacques Delille
The French poet Jacques Delille was born at Aigueperse in Auvergne on 22 June 1738 and died in Paris on 1 May 1813. He came to national prominence with his translation of Virgil’s Georgics and made an international reputation with his didactic poem on gardening. He barely survived the slaughter of the French Revolution and lived for some years outside France, including three years in England. The poems on abstract themes that he published after his return were less well received.
