Verlaine closes his eyes...



'Un grand sommeil noir
Tombe sur ma vie
Dormez, tout espoir
Dormez, toute envie.'

De qui sont ces tableaux?

Salut!... pardon... my French is not so good! :(
The illustrator is John Leigh-Pemberton, from a 'Ladybird' book about flowers, published in the U.K. in 1960.
This gives you some idea of the kind of books Ladybird produced...

Really amazing images... quite haunting, visions of another world...
