Amour, de Paul Verlaine

Amour is the title of the sixth poetry collection in verse by Paul Verlaine, published in 1888 by the publisher Léon Vanier.

A collection at the heart of the religious poetic triptych inaugurated by Sagesse (1880) and completed by Bonheur (1891), it includes poems written at the same time as Sagesse, and divergent in their inspiration, such as the lamento in twenty-five poems Lucien Létinois, opposed to the cycle of plays announcing Dedications, another collection by the author published in 1890.
