Biography
Most of his life spent in his castle, stopping for a leisurely journey through France, Germany and Italy.
Mystic writer, a follower of the French romantics Chateaubriand , Hugo and Lamartine , was influenced by the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau . Due to the true reflection of life in his works, occupies a prominent place in the new Belgian literature.
The works of Pirma, written in a poetic style, contain philosophical reflections inspired by the ideas of Montaigne , Pascal, and romantic writers ( Jours de solitude , 1862).
