 Paul Verlaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verlaine's poetry was also popular with musicians, such as Gabriel Fauré, who set several of his poems to music, including La bonne chanson.
Verlaine's first published collection, Poèmes saturniens (1867), though criticised by Sainte-Beuve, established him as a poet of promise and originality.
Numerous portraits of Verlaine were left by French artists.

 AllRefer.com - Paul Verlaine (French Literature, Biography) - Encyclopedia
The sensitive appreciation of the common incidents and sights of life and the haunting and simple music of his verse, combined with the melancholy and unreal disillusion of the decadents, distinguish his poetry.
From that time also dates his Romances sans paroles (1874), which shows Verlaine as one of the first of the symbolists.
He gained some notice with the Parnassian poetry of PoEmes saturniens (1866) and FEtes galantes (1869) and became a figure in the bohemian literary world of Paris.

 Paul Verlaine
Verlaine was one of the first poets to focus on the pure musicality and rhythm of his native French without concern for classical form.
Verlaine spent two years in prison for shooting Rimbaud, during which time he inexplicably converted to Catholicism and began composing poems about his change of heart.
Verlaine's true talent did not lie in the depth of his subject matter but in the sound images of his native French.

 The Academy of American Poets - Paul Verlaine
The French poet, Symbolist leader, and Decadent Paul-Marie Verlaine was born in Metz, Northeast France on March 30, 1844.
Though Verlaine married a young woman in 1870 and had son with her, he abandoned that relationship for another affair.
Fortunately, the French people's love of the arts was able to resurrect support and bring in an income for Verlaine: his early poetry was rediscovered, his lifestyle and strange behavior in front of crowds attracted admiration, and in 1894 he was elected France's "Prince of Poets" by his peers.

 Fine Line Features Total Eclipse Rimbaud and Verlaine
While Verlaine was in prison, Rimbaud returned to Roche, near his childhood home, and finished A Season in Hell, an account of his spiritual descent and his failure in art and love.
From their first encounter, Verlaine was powerfully drawn to Rimbaud, whose arrogance and provocative behavior shocked Mathilde and her parents, with whom they lived, as well as the established literary circles of Paris.
Verlaine had written about him and published a selection of his poems.

 Paul Verlaine
Paul Verlaine's (1844-1896) first poem was published in La Revue du progrès moral in 1863.
Verlaine transformed poetry, even though, through idleness, he may at times have ruined his own.
In fact, the expression stems from Verlaine himself, elected "Prince of Poets" by his peers in 1894, at the end of a vagrant's life spent in Paris, Rethel, Brussels and London.

 paul verlaine - The Drunken Boat
aul Verlaine, French poet, was a leader of the symbolist movement.
The sound of his poetry is usually more important than its meaning; it is therefore unusually difficult to translate.
The collection Romances sans paroles (Songs Without Words 1874), is based on his life with Rimbaud and was written in prison.

 "Paul Verlaine" by Stuart Merrill, translated by Laird Hunt
Verlaine had already delivered lectures in England, where his impressive cranium, ridged, Socratic and well-lit under the electric lights, had made an impression on a public that hadn't understood a word of what he was saying.
At the time that I made Verlaine's acquaintance, Moreas was engaged in studying the poets of the Pleiade; as one knows, having arrived quite late in France, Moreas made a conscious effort to afford himself a literary education.
I remember a charming conversation I had with Verlaine in that corner of the Cafe Francois Ier where the photographer for Nos Contemporains chez eux caught him leaning over his absinthe.

 Fêtes galantes 
The innovation in Verlaine's poetry is mostly to be found in his eccentric use of rhythm.
Paul Verlaine read Baudelaire's famed Les fleurs du mal ('The flowers of evil') at the age of fourteen, and decided to become a poet.
His life as a bohemian was increasingly determined by his addiction to absinthe, a strongly alcoholic, bright green liqueur that became fashionable among decadent poets as 'the green fairy'.

 Q.co.za ::Past Out: Who were Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud?
Although commonly thought to be the less talented of the two, Verlaine had become a celebrated poet by the time of his death, and thousands joined his funeral procession.
In 1871, 16-year-old Rimbaud sent a selection of his poems (including his most famous work, "The Drunken Boat") to Verlaine, who was so impressed he paid the young man's way to Paris.
After parting ways with Verlaine, Rimbaud returned to his family's farm and finished writing A Season in Hell, based on his time in Paris.

Shapiro has included a number of the poet's early works, showing him at his most capricious and lyrical; many poems from his middle period, which reflect his on-again, off-again conversion to Catholicism after his tumultuous relationship with Arthur Rimbaud; and poems from his late period, when he fell prey to poverty, dissipation, and disease.
These later poems, rarely anthologized, and for the most part little known, mark an important shift in Verlaine's style and exhibit the biting wit and deep sincerity that characterize this entire collection.

 glbtq >> literature >> Verlaine, Paul
Although Verlaine's own life was at times errant, his bewilderment was matched with a keenness that focused unremittingly from beginning to end on his two great and inseparable enthusiasms, poetry and sensuality.
Because his writing stresses liberation, the French "boy-poet" Arthur Rimbaud, whose art is based solely on his individual creativity, is a progenitor of modern gay poetics.
Verlaine was a brilliant poet who preferred to see his sensuality and mysticism, refinement and crudity, naïveté and shrewdness, as parallel elements.

 Threepenny: Campbell, Rimbaud and Verlaine in London
During his spell in Paris, Rimbaud met all the leading poets, and perfected the arts of insult, outrage, and obscenity for use against them.
After he had pawned Verlaine’s clothes for a few coins, he wrote a letter which is in turn affecting and sinister:
He published his “Address on the Civil War in France” just as Rimbaud and Verlaine were arriving, and Robb suggests that the poets “witnessed many political discussions and would have seen Karl Marx many times,” possibly at the meeting-place above the Hibernia tavern in Old Compton Street, Soho.

He had finally taken refuge in the Latin Quarter, and he was often to be seen near the Pantheon, chatting freely to a retinue of young poets.
Though Verlaine loved Mathilde and his infant son, he returned for solace to gin and absinthe; the habit made him intolerably violent.
