- La Trilogie erotique de Paul Verlaine. (Amies, Femmes, Hombres). Paris et Londres. in-8. Quinze eaux-fortes de Van Troizem et un avant-propos par un bibliophile verlainien.
- It was the first of these, Les Amies (The Friends) dealing with female friendships of a Lesbian nature, which caused the order of arrest of the publisher, the redoubtable A. P. Malassis, of Brussels, publisher, also of Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal.
- The destruction of Les Amies was ordered by the courts of Lille, May 6, 1868. Lepelletier, in his biography of the poet, writes of this book with much naivete, as follows: "These Sonnets . . . are now inoffensive in consequence of later publications in France, both in prose and verse, by numerous writers on the same dangerous subject; but at that time (date of publication), even for a Poulet-Malassis it was an audacious undertaking."
- Gautier said the inexpressible does not exist! Les Amies in their complete form are now included in most of Verlaine's works that is, in other than the English language. The pseudonym, Pablo de Herlagnez, bears witness that youth is often more circumspect than age. Les Amies was published when the poet was quite young. --Paul Verlaine, his absinthe-tinted song, a monograph on the poet, with selections from his work
