Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud

I'm intact, and I don't give a damn.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
I understand, and not knowing how to express myself without pagan words, I’d rather remain silent
Arthur Rimbaud

Misfortune was my god.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!

Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
A thousand Dreams within me softly burn: From time to time my heart is like some oak Whose blood runs golden where a branch is torn.
Arthur Rimbaud
