| Claudel, Paul |
According to the "notes found in the desk of a New York advertising executive," a potential sign in Times Square could read, "Paul Claudel smoked Gauloises." [St. Fidgeta & Other Parodies, 27].
A French Catholic dramatist, poet, and diplomat (1868–1955); Cinq Grandes Odes (1910) marks his highest poetic achievement.
According to Myers, Claudel's works were championed at Notre Dame by the famous Professor Frank O'Malley, whose classes both he and John took (see also Maritain, Jacques). |
