Discover the romantic poetry of the early 19th century with "Le voyageur", a poem by Charles-Hubert Millevoye (1782–1816), set to music and reimagined in a modern musical version.

Charles-Hubert Millevoye was a poet from Abbeville, in Picardy, renowned for his elegies and lyrical poems filled with melancholy, exoticism, and dreamlike reverie.
In "Le voyageur" (1807), Millevoye draws inspiration from the figure of the great navigator to express the sense of adventure, solitude, and hope that animates all travelers and dreamers.

The poem evokes the crossing of the ocean, doubts, storms, the unwavering faith of Christopher Columbus, but also the greatness of the human spirit when facing the unknown.

Millevoye makes Columbus a symbol of genius, courage, and the quest for new horizons, while also highlighting the fragility of humankind confronted with the immensity of the world.
