Poems by Paul Verlaine

Paul Verlaine

French author, born on 30/03/1844 at Metz (France), deceased on 08/01/1896 at Paris (France).

Paul Verlaine, a poet of music and nuance, published his "Poèmes saturniens" in 1866. His stormy affair with Rimbaud ended in 1873 with two gunshots and a year and a half in prison, where he returned to the faith. "Chanson d'automne," "Il pleure dans mon cœur" and "Art poétique" remain among the most memorized poems in the language.
