| Poet and critic, born in Sydney, New South Wales, SE Australia. He studied Classics and philosophy at Sydney University. While reading philosophy at Berlin University (1892), he became interested in French Symbolist poetry, which influenced his future writing. He published only a select number of volumes of verse, the best of which (such as XXI Poems: Towards the Source, 1897) were written before 1900. |
