First edition for which no mention is made of deluxe copies. Small lacks to margins of certain leaves, a tiny lack at head of first cover. Created at the Théâtre Libre on December 10, 1888, Le Cor fleuri marks the young poet's theatrical debut. This "fairy play in one act" tells the amorous rapture of a fairy transformed into a woman, and was the subject of a posthumous musical adaptation by his friend the poet Ferdinand Herold to music by Fernand Halphren, student of Gabriel Fauré.
Considered by Victor Hugo as "the hope of French poetry"
