He married Whistler's sister-in-law in Paris, who died in 1920, and in 1927 he remarried the daughter of the leading critic Sir Walter Raleigh. In Paris he knew Mallarmé, Marcel Schwob, and Valéry. Provenance: book label of Charles Whibley (1859-1930) journalist and man of letters who in 1894 became the Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette. He too was the subject of an essay by Verlaine who said he began as a bookseller 'où il apprit à connaître intrinsèquement la bizarre marchandise dont il devait faire part à ses contemporains en qualité d’éditeur à la mode, érudit et littéraire, connaisseur et amateur, collectionneur même, d’ailleurs aimable toujours et conciliant à ses heures, qui ne sont pas trop rares en somme'. The short bibliographical essay which precedes the poems is by the publisher Léon Vanier. Verlaine ends thus: 'Mon dernier mot ne peut-être ici que ceci : Rimbaud fut un poète mort jeune mais vierge de toute platitude ou décadence ? homme il fut un homme mort jeune aussi mais dans son vœux bien formulé d’indépendance et de haut dédain de n’importe quelle adhésion à ce qu’il ne lui plaisait pas de faire ni d’être'. In his preface Verlaine pays tribute to both the poems and the prose writings (some are included in this volume), and justifies some of Rimbaud’s more extreme actions and verses.
As is well known Verlaine and Rimbaud had had a spectacular affair which had left Rimbaud wounded and Verlaine in prison, but it was Verlaine (1844-1896) who outlived by five years the young poet. Rimbaud died on 10 November 1891 in Marseille after his sojourn in Abyssinia. The volume includes his poem ‘Le bateau ivre’ but ’Les illuminations’ and ’Une saison en Enfer’ had been separately published.
