Story
The Satires comprises a collection of satirical poems by the Latin author Juvenal written in the second century CE. Juvenal wrote in the Roman tradition of “satura”, a formal literary genre composed in dactylic hexameter rather than just witty criticism in any format. In a tone and manner that ranges from irony to rage, Juvenal criticizes the actions and beliefs of his contemporaries.

Story
Not many people have influenced the world we live in today in quite the same way as Abraham Lincoln. A visionary, scholar, and gentle soul. Simple qualities we all have within us, but few use these qualities to benefit mankind in quite the same way as Abe did. Centuries after his passing into spirit, we still remember his name, his work, and his legacy and will continue to do so for centuries to come. This short trilogy of verse I feel best capture his essence and the feeling of people who lived with and knew him.

Story
Les circonstances de la pièce : l'abbé Cotin n'était pas seulement un mauvais poète, c'est aussi pour Molière un homme dangereux. Aumônier du Roiet académicien, il avait demandé "aux autorités politiques et religieuses de sévir contre les comédiens... ces bouffons infâmes". Molière l'attaque de front. Sa pièce s'appelle d'abord "Tricotin", il habille son personnage en scène d'un costume lui ayant appartenu réellement, acheté chez un fripier ; surtout il tire textuellement des œuvres galantes de l'abbé deux poèmes dont il fait éclater la fausseté grotesque.

Story
"Polyeucte martyr" est une tragédie de Pierre Corneille représentée en 1641 au Théâtre du Marais. Elle est inspirée par le martyre de Polyeucte de Mélitène sous le règne de Valérien en 259. C'est l'une des dernières tragédies classiques du XVIIe siècle à sujet religieux.
L'action de cette tragédie historique se déroule à Mélitène, en Arménie romaine, au IIIe siècle après Jésus-Christ, lors de la persécution des chrétiens par l'empereur romain Decius. Corneille évoque les conséquences de la conversion au christianisme de Polyeucte.-

Story
Le notaire procéda solennellement à la lecture du contrat. Quand tous eurent signé, on déboucha les bouteilles et on but, abondamment, à la gloire de Madeleine et à la prospérité de la nouvelle troupe. "Nous la nommons l'Illustre Théâtre", dit Beys, lyrique. "À l'heureux destin de l'Illustre Théâtre !", reprit-on en trinquant une fois de plus. Madeleine et Jean-Baptiste choquaient leur verre avec une secrète solennité : ce contrat, c'était un peu leurs épousailles.

Story
Charles Baudelaire est né le 9 avril 1821 à Paris ; il y mourut le 31 août 1867, emporté par une atroce maladie, avant même d'atteindre à sa cinquantième année. Mais à ce corps misérable survécut un génie qui continue d'illuminer la poésie d'une sombre lumière. Avec Baudelaire finit le romantisme, et ce "frisson nouveau" qu'il apporta avec lui et dont Victor Hugo le félicitait, inaugure la poésie moderne.

Story
Gérard Labrunie dit Gérard de Nerval, est né le 22 mai 1808, à Paris. Il décida d'y terminer volontairement ses jours et on le retrouva pendu, rue de la Vieille Lanterne, à l'aube du 26 janvier 1855. L'existence entière de Nerval fut dominée par l'obsession d'une autre vie dont seuls les rêves nous rendent compte. Aurélia est l'adorable créature surgie de ce monde invisible. Comme il l'a dit à Alexandre Dumas, Nerval était doué de la faculté de s'identifier à des personnages réels ou légendaires.

Story
Paul Verlaine est né à Metz, le 30 mars 1844. Il mourut à Paris le 8 janvier 1895 après avoir, dans les dernières années de sa vie, erré d'un hôpital à l'autre, en proie aux misères de l'alcool. L'Académie, de son vivant, lui avait refusé une immortalité que ce poète maudit eut bientôt conquise, une fois disparu. Paul Verlaine nous a laissé quelques-uns des poèmes les plus fameux de la littérature française : "Le Colloque sentimental", "Il pleure dans mon cœur", "Chanson d'automne", "Le ciel est par-dessus le toit".

Story
Paul Valéry est né à Sète le 30 octobre 1871 ; il est mort à Paris le 19 juillet 1945. Essayiste et poète, il est aussi exceptionnel ici que là. C'est un écrivain qui méprise les prestiges faciles de la littérature : l'inconscience bavarde et la satisfaction de parler de soi. Poète, Valéry l'est comme rarement on le fut : froidement. Un poème est pour lui une savante machine verbale plutôt destinée à provoquer une émotion qu'à exposer celle de l'auteur.

Story
Né en 1432 et mort à une date incertaine, après 1463, François Villon est le poète du Moyen Âge finissant. Tout en continuant à se servir des formes poétiques traditionnelles, il inaugure une nouvelle attitude en poésie, inspirée à la fois par un esprit populaire et par le malheur et l'ironie d'une conscience individuelle. Dans le "Lais" et le "Testament", Villon nous fait ainsi une confidence intime et réaliste ; il nous parle de lui et chante sa propre destinée, comme aucun poète ne l'avait encore fait ; il donne aux gens du menu peuple le prestige des héros d'une "Chanson de Geste".
