everyone uses the second carjat photo of rimbaud but the first one taken not long after he arrived in Paris is generally considered a more accurate likeness.

also lel at the fact that the reason no negative exists is that Rimbaud stabbed Carjat with a sword cane during an argument over poetry leading to them being no longer friends.

the virgin (and schizophrenic) imagist vs the chad symbolist

Am I a brainlet for liking Illuminations as well as his pre-london verse poems much better than A Season in Hell? A Season in Hell is considered his masterpeice but I think I prefer Rimbaud when he is being more dreamlike and less direct. his early and late poems just seem to have more vivid imagery and sense impressions

“Yes, my eyes are closed to your light. I am a beast, a nigger. But I can be saved. You are sham niggers, you, maniacs, fiends, misers. Merchant, you are a nigger; Judge, you are a nigger; General, you are a nigger; Emperor, old itch, you are a nigger: you have drunk the untaxed liquor of Satan’s still.”
