„Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville.
Tears are shed in my heart like the rain on the town.“
— Paul Verlaine
One Hundred and One Poems by Paul Verlaine: A Bilingual Edition
„Ce fut le temps sous de clairs ciels,
(Vous en souvenez-vous, Madame?)
De baisers superficiels
Et des sentiments à fleur d'âme.
It was a time of cloudless skies,
(My lady, do you recall?)
Of kisses that brushed the surface
And feelings that shook the soul.“
— Paul Verlaine

„COLLOQUE SENTIMENTAL In the deserted park, silent and vast, Erewhile two shadowy glimmering figures passed. Their lips were colorless, and dead their eyes; Their words were scarce more audible than sighs. In the deserted park, silent and vast, Two spectres conjured up the buried past. Our ancient ecstasy, do you recall? Why, pray, should I remember it at all? Does still your heart at mention of me glow? Do still you see my soul in slumber? No! Ah, blessed, blissful days when our lips met! You loved me so! Quite likely,--I forget. How sweet was hope, the sky how blue and fair! The sky grew black, the hope became despair. Thus walked they 'mid the frozen weeds, these dead, And Night alone o'erheard the things they said.“
— Paul Verlaine
Poems of Paul Verlaine
„MANDOLINE. The courtly serenaders, The beauteous listeners, Sit idling 'neath the branches A balmy zephyr stirs. It's Tircis and Aminta, Clitandre,--ever there!-- Damis, of melting sonnets To many a frosty fair. Their trailing flowery dresses, Their fine beflowered coats, Their elegance and lightness, And shadows blue,--all floats And mingles,--circling, wreathing, In moonlight opaline, While through the zephyr's harping Tinkles the mandoline.“
— Paul Verlaine
