Belleau, Rémy 1528-77
French poet
Born in Nogent le Rotrou, he was a member of the Pléiade and published in 1556 a translation of Anacreon that was at first believed to be an original imitation. Bergerie (1565, 'Pastoral', 2nd edn 1572) is a medley of delicately descriptive prose and verse, of which Avril ('April') still appears in anthologies. Amours (1576, 'Love Poems') is a collection of poems concerned with the appearance and arcane powers of precious stones.

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
