Hulme. Flint abandoned school at the age of 13 to pursue rigorous self-study, eventually mastering 10 languages, including French and Latin, while working at various jobs. At 17, he took up poetry, inspired by the writing of Keats. He published the first of his three books of poetry, (In the Net of the Stars) when he was 24. This early work channels Keats and Shelley in its love lyrics. This, his third and last book of poetry, reflects the influence of innovative French poetry, the Imagist movement and the his friendship with Ezra Pound. At age 35, following the death of his wife, he ceased poetry altogether, but continued writing the authoritative translations of French works for which he is also well-known. - Summary by Nemo More information: https://librivox.org/otherworld-cadences-by-f-s-flint/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

Por carta, ela revela que já o observava nos bailes, amava-o há tempos mas não podiam ficar juntos porque ela tinha uma doença incurável.O narrador faz de tudo para ir atrás da sua amada e enfrenta diversos contratempos.(Resumo extraído da Wikipedia) More information: http://librivox.org/cinco-minutos-by-jose-de-alencar/
