because he's still a fucking babyfaced kid in the famous photo. people only post that one because it promotes le tortured deep beautiful genius meme. in the actual accurate one, confirmed by his mother and sister, he looks like a snotty brat, and in his later pics he looks just like the new picture.

Compare a picture of yourself as a boy to one of you as an adult. The facial structure changes to be less androgynous.

I've always found these later pictures of him to be the most intriguing. If only we could know what his true purpose in Harar was, if his abandonment of poetry was final...his self-portrait pictured to the left has always fascinated me, for the man of pride displayed here seems to reflect something deeper, more complex than the jungle and the self-righteous venture..

The blurriness of the figure (against the fairly sharp focus of the background) suggests slight movement during the exposure -- which could have distorted the facial detail, including the apparent width of the nose... maybe.

>> No.15216628

>>15215215
This. Otherwise the slight eyebrows, the pale frostiness of the eye that's less shaded, that round chin with the obstinate overbite, and the thin down-turned slit of a mouth, all match. So does the surly punk attitude and height--or lack thereof. >>15214038 That the burly fellow on the left could treat him right.

When I was young I wanted to be like Rimbaud and walk around the world writing poems full of visonary metaphors, trying to condense the blood system of galaxies into a handful of verses, trying to dissolve dragons and leviathans in one gulp of cosmic whiskey.

That was when I was 13, 14, 15, 16. After completing high school, I discovered that I really liked comfort, order, routine, peace to work, and also that I wanted to tell stories and create human beings who spoke through poetry. Before long I discovered that a life like Shakespeare's was much more similar to my temper. The biggest boldness I felt like committing was to spend large sums of money on prostitutes. I even graduated from Law to have a good income and a profession that would give me time to write.

I just wonder how I would have reacted to discovering these pictures when I was 13. They would have had a huge impact on my view of Rimbaud.

To this day, I see his life as one of the most exotic, brutal, obsessive and awe-inspiring. His life is a kind of work of art, and it takes a very strong stomach and an absurd determination to create something like that.

I remember Verlaine saying that Rimbaud was rebellious just because he was young, that it was easy to be like that when young, but that when he reached adulthood, he would become a quiet bourgeois, with a large and conservative belly. Ultimately, the man became an arms dealer who crossed Ethiopian deserts so severe that one trip was enough to destroy a man (Rimbaud crossed this horror at least seven times).

Sorry for the blog post. But it brings back memories of twenty years ago for me.

Is his best poem. It's 100 verses long, so you can read it in a few minutes.

life was hard for twinks before instagram filters

>Ross makes no mention at all of the Rue d’Babylone assault – when Rimbaud was almost certainly gang-raped in a Commune barracks.

is there an actual source for this? it would be interesting since I haven't ever heard it before from biographical material but at the same time it could just be wishful thinking to make his life even more like a shojo animu than it already is
