Brief introduction of the author
Paul valery (187 1 ~ 1945) is a master of French symbolism and an academician of the French Academy. Paul valery's poetic talent was highlighted in his college days, when a newspaper predicted: "His name will be sung in people's mouths." But before and after finishing law school and getting a bachelor's degree in law, a platonic sense of abstinence controlled him.
1In September, 892, he and his family went to Genoa for a holiday. On a stormy "terrible night", he decided to give up poetry and love and devote himself to "pure and selfless knowledge". In the following twenty years, Valery worked in the Ministry of National Defense and Hawass News Agency, but the habit of seeking knowledge and thinking deeply became the foundation of his life.
