# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Paul Claudel was born 6 August 1868, the younger brother of Camille Claudel. He built a dual life: poet and dramatist on one side, diplomat on the other. His verse dramas became his calling card, suffused with the devout Catholicism that shaped his vision. But the arc of his reputation bends around a darker fact — he was instrumental in institutionalizing Camille, whose talent rivaled his own. He died 23 February 1955, his legacy split between the work and the weight of what he did to his sister.
