Editing Paul Verlaine (section)

==Legacy==
Among the admirers of Verlaine's work was the [[Russian language]] poet and novelist [[Boris Pasternak]]. Pasternak went so far as to translate much of Verlaine's verse into Russian. According to Pasternak's [[mistress (lover)|mistress]] and [[muse]], [[Olga Ivinskaya]],<blockquote>Whenever [Pasternak] was provided with literal versions of things which echoed his own thoughts or feelings, it made all the difference and he worked feverishly, turning them into masterpieces. I remember his translating Paul Verlaine in a burst of enthusiasm like this – ''[[:fr:Art_poétique_(Verlaine)|L'Art poétique]]'' was after all an expression of his own beliefs about poetry.<ref>Olga Ivinskaya, ''A Captive of Time: My Years with Boris Pasternak'', (1978).
