" La Rose de Pindare " owes his name to Pierre de Ronsard, who is more or less his anagram.
Following a premature deafness, he locks itself, with his professor, into a school of Paris, in 1542, to study the Greek poetry. He discovers it a poet named Pindare (518-438 before Christ), who in a sense becomes his muse. Regularly, Ronsard publishes texts under the name of ROSE DE PINDARE
He writes: " let’s pour these roses near this wine. Near this wine let’s pour these roses".
