Biography
The French are people who are subtly disassembled in matters related to deep human feelings, whether love, friendship or respect. The bright proof of the latter - the perpetuation of the name of the Great Poet of the XVI century Pierre de Ronsar in the name of the variety of the plenty, re-flowering roses, derived in the mid-80s. Petals at the plant - white on the edges and saturated pink in the core, there are practically no spikes, and the aroma is light, like the works of the verse, responding in the hearts of readers.Childhood and youth
The views of experts at the date of birth of the poet were separated: some argued that he was born in 1524 between September 1 and 11, others clearly pointed to the last number. But the location of the arrival in this world did not cause differences - the Castle of Manoar-de-La Wanteroser in Kutur-sur-Loire, in 2019, together with Trehet, united in the commune-de-Ronsar.
Pierre's family was Large: Father Louis, who was at the court of Francis I and participating in the battle of Pavia, Mother Jeanne Shodyrie, having noble origin, brothers Claude and Charles and Sister Louise.

As part of the Sweets of the Ambassador of Claude D'Yumier, Junola traveled to the UK, France and Flanders, it was during this period that he was interested in the works of Vergil and Horace. Returning to the Motherland, Pierre came under the "leadership" of the Duke of Orleans and became the secretary of the humanist Lazar de Baif. A brilliant diplomatic career interrupted a sudden illness, after which de Ronsar remained half deaf, it is possible that this is the consequence of the suffered syphilis.
Despite the disease, Pierre, bendered to the clergy, continued to serve Karl I Orleans, afterwarding Henry II, Karl IX and Heinrich III.
Personal life
Emotions caused by experiences in personal life were reflected in the autobiographical love lyrics of the poet. In the "first book of love poems" contained works addressed to Cassandra Salviati, to which Pierre pierced the feelings in the mid-40s and which could not marry.In the future, the "second book" appeared with the messages to a simple magnificent girl Marie Dupin, who met him in 1555. In 1578, there was a turn of "sonnets to helen" ("Sonnets to Elena"), dedicated to Helen De Surger, who served at the court of Ekaterina Medici. In addition to these representatives of the beautiful gender, some Jeanne, Madeleine, Rosa, Genevra, and so on, are mentioned in the creations of the writer.
Poetry
The first samples of Feather de Ronsar, who studied at the Paris Collège de Coqueret and under the guidance of Jean Dorma, who received knowledge of philosophy and ancient languages, was made back in 1542. Debut works went to print in 1547, and soon the author loudly declared himself with his "Odami."
1549th - a sign year in fate not only Pierre, but also a literary society of that time. First, then the famous "Pleiada" was formed, which was formed in the genres of ODY, Soneta, Elegy, Eclogoga, Comedy and Tragedy and developing them in the spirit of the Renaissance. Secondly, along with the fellow students Joeshen Du Belly and Jean Antoine de Bif, he developed a plan for a large-scale poetic reform, which was reflected in the treatise "Protection and the glorification of French".
The poems challenged love, pointing to the frequency of feeling and all the living, nature, turned to philosophy, in the period of religious wars, speaking a sharp satirist and patriot. His writings were gaining popularity - their creator imitated at least Edmund Spencer and William Shakespeare, and he himself was surrounded by glory and honor as Viktor Hugo.
He presented the second life of eight and ten-sided poems, and thanks to him, French poetry found musicality, harmony, variety, depth and scale.
Death
The last years of life were especially heavy for the French as morally and physically: he lost a lot of friends and fought with the frequent bonuses of gout.In the year of its 60th anniversary, Pierre was engaged in replenishing the bibliography and the preparation of the anniversary publication of his writings, a lot of time giving an empty, adjustment and editors and often visiting Paris. Probably regular trips undermined the already weak health of the poet, serving an additional cause of death.
On the night of December 27-28, 1585 de Ronsar died surrounded by comrades in the monastery of Saint -com and was buried in the church's crypt, now his grave is under the ruins.
