Paul Verlaine (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Paul VerlaineAnd thus, as one reads the guarded testimony of others, or the jaunty revelations of Verlaine himself, one feels that it is but a thankless task to disinter these forgotten and. Fugitive scandals, that it were better done, perhaps, to leave the Verlaine of most anglo-saxons as a vague and suffering figure, apprehended only through his few successful poems or in the facile ditties of Reynaldo Hahn.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
