Illuminations (poetry collection) Illuminations (poetry collection) Illuminations is an uncompleted suite of prose poems by the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, first published partially in "", a Paris literary review, in May–June 1886. The texts were reprinted in book form in October 1886 by Les publications de La Vogue under the title "Les Illuminations" proposed by the poet Paul Verlaine, Rimbaud's former lover. In his preface, Verlaine explained that the title was based on the English word "illuminations", in the sense of coloured plates, and a sub-title that Rimbaud had already given the work. Verlaine dated its composition between 1873 and 1875. Rimbaud wrote
Marula (poet) now extant. The following verse is about a woman separated from her lover: Marula (poet) Marula (IAST: Mārulā; fl. 13th century or earlier) was a Sanskrit-language poetess from present-day India. Her verses are included in early medieval Sanskrit anthologies, including Sharngadhara's "Paddhati" and Jalhana's "Suktimuktavali". Marula's verses are included in Sanskrit anthologies such as Jalhana's "Suktimuktavali" (13th century) and Sharngadhara's "Paddhati" (14th century). So, she must have lived in the 13th century or earlier, although her exact period is not certain. She must have been a famous poet of her time, for a verse attributed to Dhanadadevas in Sharngadhara's "Paddhati"
