Synopsis
Excerpt from La Vocation
Bruges avait l'air d'une ville-fan tome. Les arbres des quais, les hautes tours renonçaient, réconciliés par la même mousselin'e. Brouillard opaque, et sans nul interstice Le carillon lui même paraissait devoir s'évader, forcer un préau de ouate pour être libre dans l'air, atteindre les pignons sur lesquels, tous les quarts d'heure, les cloches répandaient, comme feuille à feuille un mélancolique automne de musique.

About the Author
Georges Rodenbach (1855-1898) born in Tournai, spent most of his time in Ghent and later Paris. He was a typical artist of the decadent period, unfailingly anti-bourgeois, solitary, an aesthete suffering some undisclosed malady of the spirit, a palpable ennui or spleen Rodenbach, although primarily a poet, is remembered today for his two novels set in Bruges; Bruges-la-Morte(1892) and The Bells of Bruges(1897) both translated for Dedalus by Mike Mitchell.
