Preface by J.-K. HUYSMANS, Letters from Félicien ROPS, Ernest DELAHAYE, H.A. CORNUTY.

"In your series, these two portraits of Verlaine seem to me to represent the slightly cloudy and clear weather of her soul seasons. Your other drawings link these two, in their different episodes, so vividly captured, of the morose, almost worried artist in the streets of London, and the poet walking, pensive or looking, leaning on his cane, in his hospital suit, the painful spectacle of those crushed life around him".
(Huysmans in preface).
