Quote

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.

The Poet makes himself a seer through a long, vast and painstaking derangement of all the senses
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
The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter.

Je est un autre. (I is someone else).

Misfortune was my god.
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
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

Idle youth, enslaved to everything by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.
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
You will always be a hyena.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Come from forever, and you will go everywhere.
Arthur Rimbaud

Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.
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.
Arthur Rimbaud

Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
I shed more tears than God could ever have required.
Arthur Rimbaud

-But I've just noticed that my mind is asleep.
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.
