A memoir (from French: "mémoire": "memoria", meaning "memory" or "reminiscence") is a collection of memories that an individual writes about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in the subject's life.
 The assertions made in the work are understood to be factual.
 While memoir has historically been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography since the late 20th century, the genre is differentiated in form, presenting a narrowed focus.
 A biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", while a memoir often tells "a story from a life", such as touchstone events and turning points from the author's life.
 The author of a memoir may be referred to as a "memoirist" or a "memorialist".
Auguries of Innocence is a poetry collection by Patti Smith, published in 2005.
 This collection of poetry includes exactly twenty-six recent poems penned by the active, contemporary poet.
 Drawing on some of her many influences such as William Blake and Arthur Rimbaud, Smith's collection here demonstrates over and over again her knack for detail.
 Obviously William Blake is a dominant influence on the poet herself, since it shares its title, Auguries of Innocence, with one of William Blake's poems.
 Upon reviewing both collections it is clearly obvious that both collections share more commonalities than just similar titles.
 One commonality between this collection and that by Blake's, in regard to the content, is that the poems collected here exhibit subtle nods to Blake.
 For example, in one of her poems, "The Long Road", by the end of the very first verse the reader has already been exposed to such suggestive visuals as the speaker of the poem sleeping in chimneys and chewing on bulbs, as well as the speaker "sweeping time".
 Such visuals of Smith's conjure up recollections in the seasoned and experienced reader's mind of Blake's "The Chimney Sweeper" and "The Blossom".
 While the majority of the twenty-six collected poems have some type of stanza-like arrangement the poet also incorporates several free-verse style poems into the collection, such as Mummer Love, Eve of All Saints, Our Jargon Muffles The Drum, and Written By A Lake.
Pierrot lunaire: rondels bergamasques ("Moonstruck Pierrot: bergamask rondels") is a collection of fifty poems published in 1884 by the Belgian poet Albert Giraud (born Emile Albert Kayenburgh), who is usually associated with the Symbolist Movement.
 The protagonist of the cycle is Pierrot, the comic servant of the French Commedia dell'Arte and, later, of Parisian boulevard pantomime.
 The early 19th-century Romantics, Théophile Gautier most notably, had been drawn to the figure by his Chaplinesque pluckiness and pathos, and by the end of the century, especially in the hands of the Symbolists and Decadents, Pierrot had evolved into an alter-ego of the artist, particularly of the so-called poète maudit.
 He became the subject of numerous compositions, theatrical, literary, musical, and graphic.
