Jules Supervielle was born in 1884 in Uruguay. His life was divided between Montevideo, where he was born, and Paris, where he was educated.

The freshness and originality of his works are often attributed to his South American background. His stories treat grand subjects with everyday simplicity, making much use of fantasy, allegory, and myth.

Homage To Life

It’s good to have chosen A living home And housed time In a ceaseless heart

Nocturne en plein jour

Quand dorment les soleils sous nos humbles manteaux Dans l'univers obscur qui forme notre corps, Les nerfs qui voient en nous ce que nos yeux ignorent

In a Foreign Country

Have these faces come from my memory and have these gestures touched earth, or sky? Is this man alive as he seems to believe with his voice, and this smoke on his lips?
