Art and Poetry - Monet and Verlaine
Work by Claude Monet, "Argenteuil under the snow", 1874, based on a poem by Paul Verlaine, from 1874.
In the endless
Boredom of the plain,
The uncertain snow
Shines like sand.
Like clouds
The oaks float gray
Next forests
Among the mist.
The sky is copper
Without any glow.
You would think you were seeing life
And the moon dies.
Paul Verlaine, 1874.
