Additional quotes by Paul Verlaine

The long sobs of
The violins
Of autumn
Lay waste my heart
With monotones
Of boredom.

Falling tears in my heart,
Falling rain on the town.
Why this long ache,
A knife in my heart.

You must let your poems ride their luck
On the back of the sharp morning air
Touched with the fragrance of mint and thyme…
And everything else is LIT-RIT-CHER.
