Oh! If only we were naked now, and free to watch our protruding parts align To whisper - both of us - in ecstasy!

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.

It is wrong to say: I think. One ought to say: I am thought. I is someone else.
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
