Translations of Paul Verlaine's Poems

A very great poet, who can eloquently describe sadness and joy.  In the English-speaking world, he seems mostly to be known for the scandal around his relationship with Arthur Rimbaud (which ended unhappily) and because Debussy and Ravel set some of his poems to music.


"It is the languishing ecstasy"
Twilight of the Mystical Evening
"A great black slumber"
Prologue
Tantalized
Written on a Book of Intimate Notes
On a bust of me
To Horatio
Sloppy Pantoum
Interior
In the style of Paul Verlaine
"Above the roof the sky is. . ."
