Verlaine before he brings the storm or something idk I haven’t read the novel

[ID: An edited meme with Verlaine side eyeing the viewer. The text reads “Honey, you’ve got a big storm comin’.” End ID]

Aries: “My dream pursues through all the vain delays, Impatient of the weeks, mad at the days.”
Taurus:“An infinite resignedness rains where the white mists opalesce, in the moon-shower…”
Gemini:“Take eloquence and wring its neck.”
Cancer:”Tears are shed in my heart like the rain on the town.”
Leo: “I am the Empire at the end of the decadence.”
Virgo: “Tired of life, afraid of death, not unlike a lost brig, toy of ebb and flow on the ocean, my soul weighs anchor for a frightful shipwreck.”
Libra:”Your soul is as a moonlit landscape fair, peopled with maskers delicate and dim,
That play on lutes and dance and have an air of being sad in their fantastic trim.”
Scorpio: “I always fear,–if you but knew!– From your dear hand some killing blow.”
Sagittarius: ”A vast black sleep falls over my life, sleep, all hope, sleep, all desire.”
Capricorn:“What we need, we, is fixedness intense, Unequalled effort, strife that shall not cease.”
Aquarius:“Melancholy rocks my heart to oblivion, with sweet melody, amid setting suns.”
Pisces:”Colour’s forbidden, only Nuance!”
