Lucien Moreau (loo-SYEN mo-ROH)
A Brief Encounter
Lucien Moreau, Paris's own sonnet weaver, was a poet whose eloquence was as renowned as the city's grand boulevards. Born in the year of grace 1741, into the bustling world of the French Enlightenment, Lucien found his voice amidst the whispers of revolution and the fervent search for liberté. His poetry was not merely words on a page; it was the very beat of Paris's heart — raw, unfiltered, and alive with desire.
At 34, his apartment was a sanctuary for the muses, a place where the candlelight danced with shadows and the air was thick with the promise of untold stories. The night of June 16th, 1775, saw Lucien's verses spring to life, each line a prelude to the symphony of the night that unfolded. In his embrace, poetry transcended the spoken word, becoming a tangible, visceral experience.
