See also:JASMIN, JACQUES (1798-1864) , Provencal poet, was See also:born at See also:Agen on the 6th of See also:March 1798, his See also:family name being Boe. His See also:father, who was a tailor, had a certain facility for making doggerel verses, which he sang or recited at fairs and such-like popular gatherings; and Jacques, who used generally to accompany him, was thus See also:early familiarized with the See also:part which he afterwards so successfully filled himself. When sixteen years of See also:age he found employment at a hairdresser's See also:shop, and subsequently started a similar business of his own on the Gravier at Agen. In 1825 he published his first See also:volume of Papillotos (" Curl Papers "), containing poems in See also:French (a See also:language he used with a certain sense of See also:restraint), and in the See also:familiar Agen See also:patois—the popular speech of the working classes—in which he was to achieve all his See also:literary triumphs. Jasmin was the most famous forerunner in Provencal literature (q.v.) of See also:Mistral and the Felibrige. His See also:influence in rehabilitating, for literary purposes, his native See also:dialect, was particularly exercised in the public recitals of his poems to which he devoted himself. His poetic See also:gift, and his flexible See also:voice and See also:action, fitted him admirably for this See also:double role of See also:troubadour and jongleur. In 1835 he recited his " See also:Blind Girl of See also:Castel-Cuille " at See also:Bordeaux, in 1836 at See also:Toulouse; and he met with an enthusiastic reception in both those important cities. Most of his public recitations were given for benevolent purposes, the proceeds being contributed by him to the restoration of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church of Vergt and other See also:good See also:works. Four successive volumes of Papillotos were published during his lifetime, and contained amongst others the following remarkable poems, quoted in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")

order: " The See also:Charivari," " My Recollections " (supplemented after an See also:interval of many years), " The Blind Girl," " Francounetto," " Martha the See also:Simple," and " The Twin See also:Brothers." With the exception of " The Charivari," these are all touching pictures of humble See also:life—in most cases real episodes—carefully elaborated by the poet till the graphic descriptions, full of See also:light and See also:colour, and the admirably varied and melodious See also:verse, seem too spontaneous and easy to have cost an effort. Jasmin was not a prolific writer, and, in spite of his impetuous nature, would See also:work a See also:long See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

He died on the 4th of See also:October 1864. His last poem, an See also:answer to Henan, was placed between his folded hands in his See also:coffin.
