FREIRE, Luiz Jose Junqueira, Brazilian poet, born in Sao Salvador da Bahia, 31 December 1832; died there, 24 July 1855. At the age of seven he was disabled by a severe illness, and at fourteen he could not read; but after that he made rapid progress. In 1848 he entered the Lyceum of Bahia, where he studied especially the. Latin and Portuguese poets, and in a short time was able to recite from memory some of their best productions. At the age of seventeen he published poems, which were received with general favor; but about that time he fell passionately in love with a young lady who did not return his affection, and he consequently renounced the world and entered a cloister, 29 March 1851. But his superiors, seeing his disgust with monastic life, obtained, in 1854, permission for his perpetual secularization, and he left the cloister. He continued writing, but his health was undermined, and he died eight months after leaving the convent. The greater part of his manuscripts are lost, or probably supt)ressed by opponents of his ideas. Dr. Franklin Doria collected and published the following: "Estudo," "Contradie95es Poeticas," and " Inspiracoes do Claustro." The.last-named work has been translated into several languages.
