Pierre Quillard

Pierre Quillard (born Paris, July 14, 1864 - died Neuilly-sur-Seine, February 4, 1912) was a French Symbolist poet, playwright, translator (from Greek), and journalist. An anarchist and supporter of Dreyfuss, he later became one of the first people to defend the Armenians persecuted under the Ottoman Empire. In his youth, Quillard was a pupil of the Lycée Fontanes, where he counted Éphraïm Mickaël, Stuart Merrill, René Ghil, André Fontainas, Rodolphe Darzens, and Georges Vanor among his classmates.
