Verlaine is better than Baudelaire and Rimbaud. Don't ignore him.

More than likely you'll get filtered and give up. It's rather dense and requires some background reading, which you likely haven't done. Furthermore, you'll only receive a shaggy understanding of it if you read it in English. Like most Greek-language philosophers, they're far more intelligible in Greek. My edition is a bilingual French-Greek edition, and it's done wonders for my understanding. But anyways, doesn't matter. You won't finish the book and then you can go back to reading Evola or whatever tradfag memery led you to Plotinus.
