Quotes

Paul Verlaine also said...


Go, nothing is better for the soul
Than to dispel some sadness from a soul!






The long sobs
Of the violins
Of autumn
Hurt my heart
With a monotonous
Languor






Here are fruits, flowers, leaves and branches,
And here is my heart which beats only for you.






Tears are shed in my heart like the rain on the town.





The art, my children, it is to be absolutely oneself.





And so I leave
On cruel winds
Squalling
And gusting me
Like a dead leaf
Falling.
