feastingonroadkill: Paul Verlaine. Symbolist poet and head of the press bureau of the Central Committee of the Paris Commune. “I am the Empire at the end of the decadence.” I am the Empire at the end of the decadence Who watches the large white barbarians passing While composing lazy acrostic poems in a gilded stile In which the languor of the sun dances. (Translation for Wikipedia)

“I am the Empire at the end of the decadence.”

I am the Empire at the end of the decadence

Who watches the large white barbarians passing

While composing lazy acrostic poems in a gilded stile

In which the languor of the sun dances.
