Arthur Rimbaud

778 books2,853 followers
Hallucinatory work of French poet Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud strongly influenced the surrealists.

With known transgressive themes, he influenced modern literature and arts, prefiguring. He started writing at a very young age and excelled as a student but abandoned his formal education in his teenage years to run away to Paris amidst the Franco-Prussian war. During his late adolescence and early adulthood, he produced the bulk of his literary output. After assembling his last major work, Illuminations , Rimbaud completely stopped writing literature at age 20 years in 1874.

A hectic, violent romantic relationship, which lasted nearly two years at times, with fellow poet Paul Verlaine engaged Rimbaud, a libertine, restless soul. After his retirement as a writer, he traveled extensively on three continents as a merchant and explorer until his death from cancer. As a poet, Rimbaud is well known for his contributions to symbolism and, among other works, for A Season in Hell , a precursor to modernist literature.

CE VOCALĂ ÎȚI E EMINESCU DIN RIMBAUD citEști ep.651 „Poezii”, Arthur Rimabaud, traducere Octavian Soviany, Casa de Editură Max Blecher, 2025
„Golf de umbre. E - de aburi și corturi prospețime/ Ghețari ca niște suliți, regi albi, niște răsuri;” p.134
Mă interesează cum ești Eminescu azi. Și de la ce distanță te mai recunoști. O distanță îți propun și când răsfoiești noile traduceri din Arthur Rimbaud, Poezii. Este poetul cu care Eminescu a avut în comun doar perioada de creativitate. Francezul era cu patru ani mai tânăr decât Eminescu și a murit la doi ani după autorul Luceafărului. Dar influența asupra limbajului a rămas comparabilă. Asupra limbii române pentru Eminescu. Asupra limbajului poetic universal, pentru Rimbaud. Unul a definit o lume literară, celălalt a schițat ieșiri din aceeași lume. Tu cum ești Eminescu?
„Regăsită-i, iată!/ Ce? Vecia toată,/ Marea-i, ce-a plecat/ Cu soarele-odat.”// p.190
