Verlaine, tout simplement
This appears to be a brief biographical piece about the French poet Paul Verlaine (1844–1896), noting his literary debut with *Les Poèmes saturniens* at age 22, the praise he received from Victor Hugo, and the mixed or critical reactions his work provoked from contemporaries such as Barbey d'Aurevilly, Alphonse Daudet, and Edmond (likely Edmond de Goncourt).
