Émile Nelligan(24 December 1879 – 18 November1941) Émile Nelligan was a francophone poet from Quebec, Canada. Nelligan was born in Montreal on December 24, 1879 at 602, rue de LaGauchetière. He was the first son of David Nelligan, who arrived in Quebec fromDublin, Ireland at the age of 12. His mother was Émilie Amanda Hudon, fromRimouski, Quebec. He had two sisters, Béatrice and Gertrude. A follower of Symbolism, his poetry was profoundly influenced by OctaveCrémazie, Louis Fréchette, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, GeorgesRodenbach, Maurice Rollinat and Edgar Allan Poe. A precocious talent like ArthurRimbaud, his first poems were published in Montreal when he was 16 years old. In 1899, Nelligan suffered a major psychotic breakdown from which he neverrecovered. He never had a chance to finish his first poetry work which was to beentitled Le Récital des Anges according to his last notes. In 1903, his collectedpoems were published to great acclaim in Canada, an acclaim he never knew. On his passing in 1941, Émile Nelligan was interred in the Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges in Montreal, Quebec. Following his death, the public becameincreasingly interested in Nelligan. His incomplete work spawned a kind ofromantic legend. He was first translated to English in 1960 by P.F. Widdows. In1983, Fred Cogswell translated all his poems in The Complete Poems of ÉmileNelligan. Émile Nelligan is considered one of the greatest poets of French Canada. Severalschools and libraries in Quebec are named after him and Hotel Nelligan is a four-star hotel in Old Montreal at the corner of Rue St. Paul and Rue St. Sulpice.

Soir D'Hiver Ah! comme la neige a neigé!Ma vitre est un jardin de givre.Ah! comme la neige a neigé!Qu'est-ce que le spasme de vivreA la douleur que j'ai, que j'ai. Tous les étangs gisent gelés,Mon âme est noire! Où-vis-je? où vais-je?Tous ses espoirs gisent gelés:Je suis la nouvelle NorvègeD'où les blonds ciels s'en sont allés.Pleurez, oiseaux de février,Au sinistre frisson des choses,Pleurez oiseaux de février,Pleurez mes pleurs, pleurez mes roses,Aux branches du genévrier. Ah! comme la neige a neigé!Ma vitre est un jardin de givre.Ah! comme la neige a neigé!Qu'est-ce que le spasme de vivreA tout l'ennui que j'ai, que j'ai... Émile Nelligan
