French author, deceased on 16/10/1628 at Paris (France).
François de Malherbe, official poet to Henri IV and then to Louis XIII, imposed a clear, pure, and disciplined language. Boileau would hail him with a line that became famous: "Enfin Malherbe vint." His "Consolation à M. du Périer" contains the line "Et rose elle a vécu ce que vivent les roses."
