More quotes by Arthur Rimbaud
Eternity is the sun mixed with the sea
Arthur Rimbaud
O seasons, O castles, What soul is without flaws? All its lore is known to me, Felicity, it enchants us all.
Arthur Rimbaud
O witches, O misery, O hate, to you has my treasure been entrusted! I contrived to purge my mind of all human hope. On all joy, to strangle it, I pounced with the strength of a wild beast. I called to the plagues to smother me in blood, in sand, misfortune was my God.
Arthur Rimbaud
You will always be a hyena.
Arthur Rimbaud
The northern lights rise like a kiss to the sea
Arthur Rimbaud
Stronger than alcohol, vaster than poetry, Ferment the freckled red bitterness of love!
Arthur Rimbaud
Morality is the weakness of the mind.
Arthur Rimbaud
I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
Arthur Rimbaud
The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth.
Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud
Faith assuages, guides, restores.
Arthur Rimbaud
You feel on your lips a kiss Fluttering, a tiny scrap of life.
Arthur Rimbaud
Je est un autre. (I is someone else).
Arthur Rimbaud
A man who wants to mutilate himself is certainly damned, isn't he?
Arthur Rimbaud
Here I am on the shore of Brittany. Let the cities light up in the evening. My day is done. I am leaving Europe. The sea air will burn my lungs. Lost climates will tan me. I will swim, trample the grass, hung, and smoke especially. I will drink alcohol as strong as boiling metal--just as my dear ancestors did around their fires.
Arthur Rimbaud
No one's serious at seventeen.
Arthur Rimbaud
I invented the colors of the vowels!--A black, E white, I red, O blue, U green--I made rules for the form and movement of each consonant, and, and with instinctive rhythms, I flattered myself that I had created a poetic language accessible, some day, to all the senses.
Arthur Rimbaud
I wrote silences nights I recorded the unnameable.
Arthur Rimbaud
Come from forever, and you will go everywhere.
Arthur Rimbaud
In the great glasshouses streaming with condensation, the children in mourning-dress beheld marvels.
Arthur Rimbaud
