Mirèio

Synopsis

Mirèio (in Mistralian norm, pronounced [miˈrɛjɔ]; Mirèlha in classical norm, pronounced [miˈrɛjɔ, mi'rɛʎɔ]) is a poem in Occitan (Provençal) by French writer Frédéric Mistral, written in 1859 after eight years of effort. Mirèio, a long poem consisting of twelve songs, tells of the thwarted love of Vincent and Mireille, two young Provençal people of different social backgrounds. The name Mireille/Mirèio was coined by Mistral as a doublet of the word meraviho 'wonder'. Mirèio was the first great success of Frédéric Mistral.
