Rimbaud

Famous quotes containing the word rimbaud:

    The poet makes himself a seer by a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses. Every form of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he consumes all the poisons in him, and keeps only their quintessences.
    —Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)

    The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth.
    —Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)

    There shall be poets! When woman’s unmeasured bondage shall be broken, when she shall live for and through herself, man—hitherto detestable—having let her go, she, too, will be poet! Woman will find the unknown! Will her ideational worlds be different from ours? She will come upon strange, unfathomable, repellent, delightful things; we shall take them, we shall comprehend them.
    —Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)
