oscar milosz

oscar vladislas de lubicz milosz -lrb- -rrb- -lrb- may 28 , 1877 -- march 2 , 1939 -rrb- was a french-lithuanian poet , playwright , essayist and representative of lithuania at the league of nations .
his literary career -- as manifested through his many poems , two novels and three plays -- passed from its beginnings in the late symbolist movement of `` la belle Époque '' towards a highly personal and dense christian cosmology comparable to that of dante and milton .
a recluse and metaphysician , his poems were visionary and tormented , concerned with love and loneliness and full of alchemical imagery .
milosz also wrote essays .
he was a distant cousin of polish writer czesław miłosz , winner of the nobel prize for literature in 1980 .
