True alchemy lies in this formula: ‘Your memory and your senses are but the nourishment of your creative impulse’.
Arthur RimbaudAll day long he was docile, intelligent, good, Though sometimes changing to a darker mood. He seemed hypocritical, could tell better lies, in the dark he saw dots of colors behind closed eyes, clenched fists, put his tongue out at his elder brother.
Arthur RimbaudAnd from then on, I bathed in the Poem of the Sea, star-infused, and opalescent, devouring green azures
Arthur Rimbaud...these poets here, you see, they are not of this world:let them live their strange life; let them be cold and hungry, let them run, love and sing: they are as rich as Jacques Coeur, all these silly children, for they have their souls full of rhymes, rhymes which laugh and cry, which make us laugh or cry: Let them live: God blesses all the merciful: and the world blesses the poets.
