VERLAINE (Paul): Wisdom. Paris Société Générale de Librairie - Lot 156
VERLAINE (Paul): Wisdom. Paris Société Générale de Librairie Catholique 1881. In-8 paperback, printed cover, II + 106 pp. (foxing, small bumps on the covers). 500 copies of the first edition published on ordinary vellum (no large paper). Still marked by the Rimbaudian influence, Verlaine started writing this collection in 1873, during his incarceration in Mons, and he had thought of calling it "Cellulairement", but its composition was prolonged until 1880 to make it a pivotal work, already won by a form of conservative prosaism, fruit of the return to the Christian faith. Rare paperback copy, as issued.
