1. Les Regrets
"Les Regrets" is a collection of sonnets that reflect the author's longing for his homeland while he resides in Rome. The poems express a sense of melancholy and dislocation, as the poet grapples with the grandeur and decay of the ancient city, contrasting it with the simplicity and familiarity of his native France. Through vivid imagery and emotional depth, the work explores themes of nostalgia, the passage of time, and the search for identity amidst the ruins of a once-great civilization, ultimately revealing the universal human desire for belonging and the bittersweet nature of memory.
