French poet,[nbsp]Evariste de Parny was born in 1753 in Saint-Paul de l'île Bourbon, he died in 1814 in Paris He wrote the[nbsp]Poésies érotiques, his most famous work, inspired by an affair with a young girl to whom he gives classes ; an affair made impossible by his father. De Parny then began to compose more romantic poems. In 1785, a trip to India inspired him to write Les chansons madécasses (published in 1787), an anti-colonialist pamphlet in prose that contrasts the hospitality of negroes, their religious, military and loving rituals, with the slave trade by whites.
Nice outfit.
