Image
A thousand Dreams within me softly burn
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Once, if I remember well, my life was a feast where all hearts opened and all wines flowed.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
I wrote silences nights I recorded the unnameable.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
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
Image
I shed more tears than God could ever have required.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Stronger than alcohol, vaster than poetry, Ferment the freckled red bitterness of love!
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
To whom shall I hire myself out? What beast should I adore? What holy image is attacked? What hearts shall I break? What lies shall I uphold? In what blood tread?
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
The Poet makes himself a seer through a long, vast and painstaking derangement of all the senses
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
And I am still alive-what though, my damnation is eternal. A man who deliberately mutilates himself is truly damned, is he not? I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
You feel on your lips a kiss Fluttering, a tiny scrap of life.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
-But I've just noticed that my mind is asleep.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
And from that time on I bathed in the Poem Of the Sea, star-infused and churned into milk, Devouring the green azures where, entranced in pallid flotsam, A dreaming drowned man sometimes goes down.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
No one's serious at seventeen.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Hay que ser absolutamente Moderno
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
You will always be a hyena.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Love...no such thing. Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that's not love. That's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist. Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain.
Arthur Rimbaud

The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth.
Arthur Rimbaud
