ABOUT THE WRITER...

Manuel Maria Barbosa l'Hedois du Bocage was an important Portuguese poet of the 18th century.

Bocage had a difficult childhood, as his father was arrested when he was just six years old, and he lost his mother at age 10. He joined the army at age 16; and, later, to the Portuguese navy, where he traveled through Brazil, Africa, China, and India.

In 1790, he returned to Lisbon, where he began his literary life, to which he devoted himself until his death. Together with the poets Camões and Antero de Quental , Bocage is part of the group of the greatest Portuguese lyrical sonnetists.

Some of his main works:

A pavorosa ilusão;
A virtude laureada;
Elegia;
Improvisos de Bocage.

“The joys of love are like a diamond / Which, without the setting that touches it, / Lost its politeness, lost its shine.” – Cartas de Olinda e Alzira, Manuel du Bocage.
