Testo francese a fronte. Il tentativo di rendere la sensazione in una forma immateriale, di puro suono, anima fin dagli esordi la produzione poetica di Verlaine. L'illuminazione invece della descrizione, il frammentario invece del complesso, il non definito invece della massiccia coerenza del reale sono vie attraverso cui i suoi versi si spingono a cercare il limite estremo della parola prima che diventi musica, a comporre un linguaggio poetico capace di superare la distanza tra realtà esterna, sensitività e coscienza in autonomi paesaggi interiori.

Paul-Marie Verlaine was a French poet associated with the Symbolist movement. He is considered one of the greatest representatives of the fin de siècle in international and French poetry. Despite Rimbaud admiring his poetry, these poets had a stormy affair which led to Verlaine's incarceration after shooting Rimbaud. This incident indirectly preceded his re-conversion to Roman Catholicism. Verlaine's last years were particularly marked by alcoholism, drug addiction and poverty. His poems have inspired many composers, such as Chopin, Fauré and Poldowski. Art Poétique describes his decadent style and alludes to the relevance of nuances and veils in poetry.
