Paul Marie Verlaine was a French poet associated with the Symbolist movement.
Paul Verlaine's poetic style was characterized by musicality, evocative imagery and an exploration of themes such as love, beauty, melancholy and spirituality. His poems often conveyed a sense of heightened emotionality and expressed a deep sensitivity to the human experience.
Verlaine's work was a departure from the more structured and formal poetry of the previous era. He chose a more fluid and free style of verse, experimenting with rhythm, sound and imagery. His poems were often dreamlike, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination.
