"Ceux qui vivent d’amour, vivent d’éternité."
Belgian poet and art critic Émile Verhaeren was born #OTD in 1855.
Verhaeren's early work was heavily influenced by the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the unseen forces and emotions behind everyday experiences through symbolic imagery and metaphor. "Les Flamandes" (1883) is his first major collection, depicting the life and customs of Flemish people.
