  • Arthur Rimbaud

    This is what I've always gone through: the end of my faith in history, the neglect of my principles; poets and visionaries would be jealous.

    I was more detached than the best of beggars, proud to have no country, no friends--what stupidity that was! and only now I realize it!

  • Arthur Rimbaud

    I was right to distrust old men who never lost a chance for a caress, parasites on the health and cleanliness of our women.

  • Arthur Rimbaud

    I can see that my troubles come from not realizing soon enough that this is the Western World. These Western swamps!
