Goodbye, verlaine

[rainsinger]

Well, in honour of his going off to vanish off the face of the Known World America to live in a cardboard box have splendid and marvellous adventures, and meet LJ-ers yet unkown, I give you the Best of verlaine.

♥ the Virginia Woolfe comparison, reincarnation!

I'd love to be able to share with you my favourite of all his diary entries. It was called The Possibility of Love, it's from his Mono diary circa March 2001, and it's beautiful. The last paragraph especially is gorgeous.

Sadly, I don't have it here, only on my old computer in the flat, where I saved all his old diaries in case he deleted them some day in a fit of pique (and he did :) ). But if he's okay with the idea, I'll post it somewhere when I've dug it out. Or let him repost it.

Yeah, he's not bad, that verlaine.

And my favourite of his journal entries is this library story, at which I laughed for about a month.

I'm going to miss me too! Wherever I go, I won't ever be the same, because at least half of me was always YOU.
