Read the full text of Chanson d'automne and our analysis →

"The long sobs of the autumn violins wound my heart with a monotonous languor."

Context of the Work

Published in the collection Poèmes saturniens in 1866, this poem is one of the most famous in the French language for its musicality. Verlaine uses autumn as a resonant mirror of a diffuse melancholy, where the rhythm of the verses imitates the swaying of the wind and dead leaves.

Why is Verlaine's "Chanson d'automne" so famous?

The poem is renowned for its pure musicality: Verlaine makes the words sound to imitate the autumn wind and the swaying of melancholy, embodying his poetic ideal of "music above all else."

Beautiful words deserve beautiful paper

These verses are set to be hung: a chosen typeface, measured margins, white space worked around the text. It is this layout that makes you want to read them again.

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. You read it the way you read a book.

It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a poem is not the same as reading it once. The text stays there, you catch two lines in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.

There is a quiet pleasure in living with French literature in the original. The poem keeps the language it was written in, and with it the sound the writer chose, which no translation quite carries over. On an English-speaking wall it stops being decoration and becomes something with a little cachet: a piece of France you can read on your way past, every morning.

It earns the large format. At 50x70 cm the text is read from across the room, and the page holds a wall the way a painting does.
