D. Iacobescu or Dumitru Iacobescu ((:duˈmitru jakoˈbesku); born Armand Iacobsohn;〔Călinescu, p.709 (full birth name in index, p.1042)〕 1893 – October 9, 1913) was a Romanian Symbolist poet. His literary activity only lasted about two years, between his high school graduation and his death from tuberculosis, but made him a critically acclaimed presence inside Romania's Symbolist movement. Much of Iacobescu's work remained unpublished during his lifetime, and survived as autographed notebooks. Once rediscovered and published some twenty years after his death, it brought him posthumous recognition as a writer of talent, but one whose introversion and nostalgia ran contrary to the main currents in modernism. Romanticizing his own physical suffering while adopting stylistic elements from French Symbolist classics such as Paul Verlaine, D. Iacobescu left lyric poetry that is either resigned or visionary in dealing with mortality. His other contributions display an interest in Decadent, pre-modernist, themes, as well as a taste for black comedy. The contrast between his approach and that of other, more avant-garde, Romanian Symbolists did not prevent Iacobescu's affiliation with the modernist circle at Ion Minulescu's ''Insula'' magazine. ==Biography== Born in Craiova as the son of physician Iacobsohn and his wife Doroteea,〔Călinescu, p.709〕 the future D. Iacobescu belonged to the Jewish-Romanian community, being one of several Jewish members of his early modernist generation to make an impact on Romanian literature.〔 Boris Marian, ("Un secol de modernism" ), in ''România Literară'', Nr. 47/2007〕 D. Iacobescu had a short life, marked by his losing battle with tuberculosis.〔Călinescu, p.709, 710; Vianu, p.87, 90-91〕 He was however active on the literary scene of Bucharest, just shortly after completing his high school studies.〔Vianu, p.87〕 In spring 1912, Iacobescu became an affiliate of the literary circle formed by Minulescu around the short-lived review ''Insula'' (the existence of which marked a coming of age in Romanian Symbolism).〔Cernat, p.26-27, 65〕 At the time, Iacobescu met the modernist poet Ion Vinea, who later contributed his obituary in ''Facla'' magazine. According to this text, Iacobescu, who rallied with "the purifying and insect repelling" ''Insula'', represented a "multicolored ray, vibrating far away from () the mediocre talents."〔Cernat, p.65〕 In addition to lending his contribution to ''Insula'', Iacobescu had his various poems published by several other literary magazines or newspapers: ''Flacăra'', ''Noua Revistă Română'', ''Ramuri'', ''Ilustrația Națională'', ''Arta'', ''Biruința''〔Vianu, p.86〕 and ''Noi Pagini Literare''.〔Cazimir, p.87; Vianu, p.86-87〕 D. Iacobescu died in Bucharest at age nineteen.〔Călinescu, p.709. Age specified in Vianu, p.87〕 He left behind several calligraphed manuscripts of his lifelong poetry (most of it previously unpublished), including a notebook carrying the title ''Quasi''. In a memoir written during or shortly after World War I, literary historian Tudor Vianu, who noted having "read and admired" Iacobescu while he was still alive, reviewed these unpublished pieces, and argued that their title probably alluded to an "indecisive atmosphere" to be discerned in Iacobescu's creative process.〔Vianu, p.86-87〕 The notebooks included Iacobescu's first mention of being bedridden, with ''Zile de vară'' ("Summer Days", dated August 6, 1913), as well as his last known work in verse, ''Capriccio-Fantazie'' (August 13).〔Vianu, p.89-90〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「D.
