Started with a green hat for Verlaine

[-] was drawing to a close, and there was a long holiday at Trinity College.

Oscar Wilde did a thing.

He bought all the fresh bouquets from the florist, spread them all over the apartment, and expressed his gratitude to Aso Qiuya with enthusiasm this year.

Wilde, who firmly believed that flowers match beautiful women, emptied the pocket money he earned for this.

Ma Shengqiu should also call him a prodigal son.

But... Didn't he send flowers to his beloved in the same way back then?

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses can exchange for Lan Tang's embarrassment, but they cannot surprise the well-informed Arthur Rimbaud.Someone once said that the more formal love is, the easier it is to break. He bought the best flowers, the most meaningful wedding rings, and the most expensive wedding house, but he couldn't keep the person who left.

Fortunately.

Oscar Wilde was emotionally clueless.

Ma Shengqiu also accepted the gift and gave Oscar Wilde a hug.Oscar Wilde was overjoyed, his kindness was reciprocated, and he successfully became friends with the other party. He reminded expectantly: "According to the etiquette of the Irish, there should be a kiss on the face."

Ma Shengqiu also downplayed it: "It's a pity that I am a black family from a foreign country, so I can't do as the Romans do."

Jiang was still old and hot, and Ma Shengqiu had also taken advantage of Lantang's kissing ceremony, so he didn't understand European etiquette, but he didn't like to let Oscar Wilde think about it.

Oscar Wilde gave up arguing. Speaking of it, he couldn't win the other party.

"Qiu, I have prepared spring water and nectar for you, come and taste it!"

"..."

Is this guy trying to raise him as an elf?

Ma Shengqiu also couldn't laugh or cry, followed him and tasted the food provided by the other party, and if there were no accidents, these things would be excreted in another way.

Forget it, he didn't intend to be an elf who doesn't eat fireworks.

Ma Shengqiu also raised his eyes and glanced at Wilde. The young man looked nervous, fearing that he would spoil his stomach. Ma Shengqiu also gave a positive answer: "Sweet."

Oscar Wilde was delighted.

Afterwards, the apartment was warmed by the fireplace, and the flowers lost their moisture quickly. Asa Shengqiu also looked at Oscar Wilde who was trying to maintain the time of the flowers, as if seeing a hard-working gardener: For every beauty, Wilde was always willing to give ten times the patience.

Ma Shengqiu also unconsciously held a blank paper, and drew a stick figure on the paper with a pencil.

Title: "Oscar Wilde".

This painting was not well received. When Oscar Wilde saw his fat self in the painting, his complexion changed several times, and he made a painful decision: "I will lose weight."

Ma Shengqiu also said: "Quitting sugar is the first step in losing weight."

Oscar Wilde's face became even more bitter.

Ma Shengqiu did not say to eat less meat and more vegetables. Europeans and Orientals have different physiques and cannot be generalized.He used the chat time to write down a shopping list, all of which were the names of books published this year, namely Thomas Hardy's "Under the Green Shade", Charles Robert Darwin's "Human Origin and Sexual Selection", Hans. A collection of fairy tales published by Christian Andersen one after another.

Oscar Wilde stared at his handwriting, always clear and elegant, not scribbled, compared with his own handwriting - er, horrible.

Ma Shengqiu also said as if he had mind reading skills: "It's time for you to practice writing."

Oscar Wilde shook his head wildly: "I am so old, how can I learn to write like a child, my fonts have already been finalized."

Ma Shengqiu didn't say anything more.

In fact, he occasionally saw the notes written by Wilde on the books, which looked like a series of irregular lines. When the words were short, he could barely understand the meaning, but if the words were longer, he could do nothing. Probably only the Irish could Can read Irish script.

"In February next year, let's go to Italy to see the next opera." Seeing him engrossed, Oscar Wilde tiptoedly brushed a lily across Aso's cheek. Compared with the soft and delicate skin forever, the lily Huadu bowed down.

Aso Qiu also turned his head sideways, with dark and deep pupils under his eyelashes, and his black hair was a symbol of mystery and nobility.In the portraits of the British royal family, if the owner’s hair is not the standard blond hair, they are all painted as black hair. As a result, in later generations, many British people do not understand why the orientals dye their black hair into blond hair, which is obviously the most noble color. .

Oscar Wilde was inevitably attracted by the black hair and black eyes, and said in his mouth.

"Second performance of M. Verdi's opera in Venice."

"Oh."

"Then are you going?"

"..."

Facing Wilde’s invitation, Aso was also silent. The first time he refused was that Egypt was too far away. This time Italy is not too far away from England, and that place was included in his travel plan in the [-]th century. If he hadn’t died in Wenye World , will definitely go there in the future.

After all, he has not fully recovered, and his motivation to explore the world has declined.

He refuses to have too deep connection with this world.

"Do me a favor, and I promise to go on a long trip with you." Ma Shengqiu said the same thing, and Oscar Wilde patted his chest without saying a word: "Go ahead!"

There was a trace of melancholy in Aso Qiuya's eyes, which disappeared in a blink of an eye, and it was difficult to say what he said next.

Oscar Wilde was curious.

Ma Shengqiu also said: "I know Mrs. Wilde knows a lot of people, I want to know that French poet Paul Verlaine..." His eyes struggled, "This man..." Is it Verlaine who killed him, or his love? The parallel space-time counterpart of the person in question, this problem troubled him endlessly, and he could not let go of it until he figured it out.

"Collection of Colored Paintings" is Lantang's superpower and the representative work of three-dimensional Arthur Rimbaud, but Lantang's real name is Paul Verlaine, so what's going on? !

"True character."

In the end, Ma Shengqiu also spoke out with difficulty.In order to discern Lan Tang's origins and overwhelm his desire for Verlaine, he no longer evaluates people from the last century from the perspective of later generations.

Oscar Wilde thought about it, not a big problem, a French poet.

"I'll tell mom."

……

January [-], [-].

Ma Shengqiu no longer regards this day as his birthday.

He sat on the terrace of the apartment, listening to Oscar Wilde say vividly: "Paul Verlaine, 26 years old, he first entered the literary world in the style of a Barnesian poet, and was introduced to the Motel by a friend four or five years ago. The couple, who got engaged to Miss Motel the year before last, got married last year, and his friends said he loved Miss Motel so much, he has been writing poems praising Miss Motel, and there is a sentence that reads, "Please use your beautiful eyes to see my gentle obedience"... "

Paul Verlaine in love with Matilda Motel?

There was sarcasm on the corner of Aso Akiya's mouth, and he quickly restrained himself before Wilde found out.

During this time he ceased correspondence with Victor Hugo, and those letters contacting him were left at the post office awaiting repatriation.Mrs. Wilde did not disappoint him, and obtained first-hand information on Paul Verlaine, which was very comprehensive and contained the latest news.

Oscar Wilde winked and said: "On October [-] last year, Mrs. Verlaine gave birth to a child. There is no doubt that she got married after she was pregnant. It is not easy for him to get the daughter of a wealthy French businessman based on his family background. Paul Verlaine Verlaine quit his job to take care of his wife at home in Paris and was praised by many as a loving father."

Oscar Wilde couldn't deny this, recalling his mother's words: "In terms of character, Mr. Verlaine often participated in salons. Friends in the salon praised Mr. Verlaine as quick-witted and possessed a romantic heart. Some people said he supported the Paris Commune, but there was no substance. Sexual evidence, it should be true, I asked others, he worked as a censor in the provisional government after the Paris Commune took over the Paris government."

Ma Shengqiu was also taken aback. Verlaine, who had been belittled by him, also participated in the Paris Commune?

Immediately, his face lost all color.

Did Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine really meet for the first time?Perhaps, Arthur Rimbaud had met Paul Verlaine in places unknown to him, so among so many French poets, Arthur Rimbaud was the only one who treated this man differently, thinking that the other party understood him .

"After the failure of the Paris Commune, he didn't get in touch with people in politics anymore. He often went to pubs alone, indulging in absinthe and gin... In terms of character, he didn't have any gossip about keeping a lover. It seems that there is no big problem , I personally admire those who dare to participate in the Paris Commune..."

Oscar Wilde told the truth while being careful not to irritate Aso.

So far, he doesn't know whether this Verlaine is Ma Shengqiuya's rival in love, but he just feels that there must be a trace of connection between the two.

Ma Shengqiu also murmured: "Even you admire him..."

These are Wilde's words, which are much more fair and objective than his own.

He suddenly thought that Wilde and Rimbaud were the same age and had never met each other in their life, but Wilde did not publicly praise Rimbaud, only praised Verlaine, and wrote it in the book. Both like men.

The 50-year-old Verlaine has become the "King of Poets" in France. His talent is beyond doubt, and it is not at all what Wilde usually said to himself.Verlaine's poems surpassed Rimbaud's in terms of popular popularity, and lacked the novelty of creating a genre, just like the difference between popular literature and classical literature. The former is down-to-earth, while the latter cannot be understood by everyone.

"Wilde, tell me, do you like his poetry?"

"do not like!"

"Tell me the truth—!"

"One thing... I like... his poetry is improving, but Qiu hates his words, and I hate him too. I believe that Qiu's eyes can't misread a person's inner being."

Oscar Wilde replied.

Ma Shengqiu was also miserable.

His vision?His eyes were blinded by jealousy and hatred, and he couldn't see the truth for a long time.

The man he looked down upon was the one closest to Rimbaud.

When the crisis broke out in the Paris Commune, he was in Ireland, and the other party was in Paris. When he borrowed Hugo's contacts to protect Rimbaud, the other party supported the Paris Commune alone. Perhaps an inadvertent move convinced the 16-year-old Attil Rimbaud.

No one can understand a person through history, and no one can understand a soul with a long history through Baidu Encyclopedia. His prejudice against Verlaine deeply hurt Arthur Rimbaud.

【Did you really love my soul? 】

……

In Paris, Paul Verlaine came home reeking of alcohol, half-squatting beside the cradle, as if he could find some spiritual support in this way.

Their child was born at the end of October last year, and it was the boy everyone expected.

Named Georges Verlaine.

Matilda gently shook the child, resisting the rejection of the smell of wine, and perfunctorily comforted the empty and sad man.

"Go undress and rest."

now.

Her expression was full of maternal brilliance.

Without seeing his wife's face, Paul Verlaine said vaguely: "You don't understand..."
