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.

Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.
Arthur Rimbaud

What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.

Come from forever, and you will go everywhere.
Arthur Rimbaud

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

The northern lights rise like a kiss to the sea
