| Jan Veth Paul Verlaine writing ca. 1892 lithograph British Museum |
– And then the barrel-organ grows fainter, and it is
Silent, and lifeless night arrives, and Venus wavers
On a soft cloud at the bottom of dark skies:
Along the walls are lit the jets of gas.
And the star and the torches make weird zigzags
In a river blacker than the velvet of masks;
– from Nocturne parisien by Paul Verlaine, translated by Karl Kirchwey
