Poetic justice: “Rimbaud leant out of the window as Verlaine was walking back from Camden market…and shouted a stream of abuse. Verlaine hit Rimbaud with a fish he’d acquired in the market [and] fled to Brussels. Rimbaud, contrite, immediately followed… Verlaine shot Rimbaud, wounding him…and went to prison.” https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/nov/22/arts-world-dismayed-at-fate-of-london-home-of-rimbaud-and-verlaine?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Paul Verlaine, born #OTD in 1844 #Verlaine #Rimbaud

Monsieur #Rimbaud hates it when I take pictures of him… #whiskerswednesday #catsofmastodon

In hours of bitterness I imagine balls of sapphire, of metal.

I am master of silence.

Why should a semblance of skylight pale in the corner of the vault?

There’s a clock that never chimes.
There’s a hollow with a nest of white creatures.
There’s a cathedral that descends, and a lake that rises.
There’s a little carriage abandoned in the copse, or running down the lane, beribboned.
There’s a troupe of little players in costume, glimpsed on the road through the edge of the woods.
There’s someone, at last, when you’re hungry and thirsty, who drives you away.

Pale as the victim led to the guillotine,
Submissive like a dog, cowed by the scene

At times, I forget the pitiful state into which I’ve fallen: he will make me strong, we shall travel,

we’ll hunt in the deserts, sleep on the pavements of unknown towns, without cares or troubles.

Or I will wake, and laws and customs will have changed

It’s a green hollow where a river sings
Madly catching white tatters in the grass.
Where the sun on the proud mountain rings:
It’s a little valley, foaming like light in a glass.

"I have wept too much. Dawn breaks the heart."

From the #poem "Le Bateau ivre" (The Drunken Boat) by #Rimbaud, tr. by Lionel Abel.

Graham Robb's #JacketFlapPhoto is hot. His biography of Rimbaud is hotter. Was Rimbaud really only 16 when he wrote this poem & without having seen the sea?! Robb says: "'Le Bateau ivre' is not the work of a young poet on the verge of a brilliant career, but the vision of a whole life, suspended between its final dissolution & the tiny, twilight world of the past."
