Songs without Words

Poetry

Donald Revell, Paul Verlaine

Authors: Donald Revell, Paul Verlaine
Print type: BOOK

Description:

Songs without words (Romances sans paroles) is the book in which, unabashedly, Paul Verlaine becomes himself and, in so doing, becomes the iconic poet of the French nineteenth century. A book of musical sequences, it seeks and finds exquisite purity of expression, best exemplified by "Il pleure dans mon coeur," the most famous and most inimitable of all French lyric poems.
