3 of Pierre Bonnard’s illustrations for Paul Verlaine’s book of poems, Parallèlement

c.1900

From the Met:

Bonnard’s response to Verlaine’s poems on the parallelism of human nature was unprecedented in its rich expansiveness, his 109 designs suggesting the Rococo splendor of red-chalk drawings by Boucher and Watteau. The book, published by Ambroise Vollard, was the first modern livre de peintre, combining a classically printed text with a painter’s freehand allusions. The illustrations are luxuriously unconfined by either strict format or literal attention to the text, and flow with extraordinary immediacy. While one contemporary critic dismissed the work as “uncertain … stutterings,” another declared that never before had illustrations been so perfectly adapted to a book of verse. Indeed, the harmonious relationship of word and image set a new standard in book design.

Luigi Tenco - Mi Sono Innamorato Di Te

Mi sono innamorato di te I have fallen in love with you Perché non avevo niente da fare Because I had nothing to do Il giorno volevo qualcuno da incontrare During the day I wanted someone to meet La notte volevo qualcosa da sognare During the night I wanted something to dream about Mi sono innamorato di te I have fallen inlove with you Perché non potevo più stare sola Because I could no longer stay alone Il giorno volevo parlare dei miei sogni During the day I wanted to talk about my dreams La notte parlare d'amore During the night, talking about love Ed ora che avrei mille cose da fare And now that i have million of things to do Io sento i miei sogni svanire I feel my dreams vanishing Ma non so più pensare But i don’t know to think any longer A nient'altro che a te About nothing else but about you Mi sono innamorato di te I have fallen in love with you e adesso non so neppure io cosa fare And now I don’t even know what to do Il giorno mi pento d'averti incontrato During the day I regret having met you La notte ti vengo a cercare. During the night I come to look for you
