Alexis-Félix Arvers (July 23, 1806 – November 7, 1850) was a French poet and dramatist, most famous for his poem: Un secret. Arvers was from Cézy, the son of a wine merchant. Arvers abandoned his law career at the age 30 to concentrate on theatre. His plays gained moderate success in their own time, but none were as notorious as Un Secret, which was dedicated to Marie Mennessier-Nodier, the daughter of writer Charles Nodier.
