A common theme running through these poems is the scenes, characters, and props of French comedy, semi-civilized pastorals, and \u003ci\u003ecommedia dellʼarte\u003c\/i\u003e, - figures like Harlequin, Colombine, Pierrot, Leandre, \u003ci\u003eInnamorati\u003c\/i\u003e, etc., against natural backdrops and Watteau-like dreamy landscapes, with all the appurtenances that one might expect: mandolins, lutes, masques, moonlight, prettily clad women, moss-covered benches... - interfused with the sentiments, melancholy, amorous longings, joys and regrets of the poet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSongs Without Words\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eRomances sans paroles\u003c\/i\u003e in French) was originally published in 1874. The common theme in these poems is the amorous and sentimental love lost, found, and lost again between the poet and his childhood female cousin, or his child wife, or his new-found friend and fellow poet Arthur Rimbaud against a backdrop of the Ardennes, the Belgian countryside, Brussels, and London. It includes perhaps Verlaineʼs most famous poem: \"\u003ci\u003eIl pleure dans mon c\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eoe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eur...\u003c\/i\u003e\"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 03, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51783033651488,"sku":"9781955392204","price":18.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/bbd4ccc0a4e420d47e79250588a729e6.webp?v=1780578398","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/fetes-galantes-songs-without-words-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
