Verlaine manipulated language to evoke emotion through the cadence and musicality of words. Paul Verlaine was a French poet at the end of the nineteenth century, and one of the key figures of the Symbolist literary movement. At those times, we give ourselves to the wind that carries us to our “broken and brief” memories–the wind that almost allows us to forget our present state as “dead lea.” Dying leaves recall their greenery, just as the poetic voice recalls livelier days that are irretrievably “over.” Though Verlaine speaks of autumn, his language resonates throughout the year’s seasons, particularly in moments when we find ourselves sighing over the better days of the past. “Chanson d’automne,” or “Autumn Song,” conveys the nostalgic recollection that teems in the breezes of grey, crisp air.
