Francis Jammes[frANsEs´ zhAm] Pronunciation Key, 1868–1938, French poet. He lived most of his life in the Pyrenees. Jammes is usually grouped with the symbolists, but he is distinguished from them by the simplicity and artlessness of his pastoral poetry. De l'angElus de l'aube A l'angElus du soir (1898) brought him wide acclaim. Later works, including ClairiEres dans le ciel (1906) and GEorgiques ChrEtiennes (1911–12), are suffused with Catholic spirit. He also wrote charming stories about rustic people.
