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