Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Je est un autre. (I is someone else).
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
A man who wants to mutilate himself is certainly damned, isn't he?
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
Image
Stronger than alcohol, vaster than poetry, Ferment the freckled red bitterness of love!
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Morality is the weakness of the mind.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Come from forever, and you will go everywhere.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
It was the voice of mad seas, roaring immense,/ That shattered your infant breast, too soft, too human.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter.
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
I went out under the sky, Muse! and I was your vassal.

Hay que ser absolutamente Moderno
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
It is wrong to say: I think. One ought to say: I am thought. I is someone else.
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 am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
O seasons, O castles, What soul is without flaws? All its lore is known to me, Felicity, it enchants us all.
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
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

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.
