Debussy was inspired by this poem by Paul Verlaine to compose this work: Your soul is a chosen landscapeĀ Where charming masquerades and dancers are promenading,Ā Playing the lute and dancing, and almostĀ Sad beneath their fantastic disguises.Ā While singing in a minor keyĀ Of victorious love, and the pleasant lifeĀ They seem not to believe in their own happinessĀ And their song blends with the moonlight,Ā With the sad and beautiful moonlight,Ā Which sets the birds in the trees dreaming,Ā And makes the fountains sob with ecstasy,Ā The tall, slim water streams among the marble statues.Ā Paul Verlaine, 1869.
