Blare 'adieu' when this French poet goes off? (10)
I believe the answer is:
baudelaire
'this french poet goes off?' is the definition.
'baudelaire' can be an answer for 'french poet' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.
'blare adieu' is the wordplay.
'blare adieu' anagrams to 'BAUDELAIRE'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for baudelaire that I've seen is " French poet and critic, d. 1867 - audible ear (anag)".)
