Yet this is the watch by night. Let us all accept new strength, and real tenderness. And at dawn, armed with glowing patience, we will enter the cities of glory.

No one's serious at seventeen.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Oh! If only we were naked now, and free to watch our protruding parts align To whisper - both of us - in ecstasy!
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 turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
I went out under the sky, Muse! and I was your vassal.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Weakness or strength: you exist, that is strength. You don't know where you are going or why you are going, go in everywhere, answer everyone. No one will kill you, any more than if you were a corpse.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
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.

Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Stronger than alcohol, vaster than poetry, Ferment the freckled red bitterness of love!
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
A thousand Dreams within me softly burn
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
The Poet makes himself a seer through a long, vast and painstaking derangement of all the senses
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Once, if I remember well, my life was a feast where all hearts opened and all wines flowed.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
It is wrong to say: I think. One ought to say: I am thought. I is someone else.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
-But I've just noticed that my mind is asleep.
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.

I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
