When I hear or read about Verlaine, I can't help thinking about her relationship with Rimbaud or her contribution to modernism, and that's exactly what I found most salient in your post, @josemalavem. To read his poems is to find the musicality, rhythm and structure so emblematic of modernism. In his poem Ars poética we find the look and the conception that he had of poetry. The poem III, which says: Cry within my heart
while it rains over the city, is perhaps one of the most beautiful and where it is easy to catch the image of the lyrical voice and its environment. Thank you for such an excellent post.
