Thoughts on Une saison en Enfer?
I thought it as mesmerizing. The development from the Rimbaud bound with sonnets and French/Latin hexameters, the classically suited Rimbaud, slowly gets replaced with the disgusting, terrifying blank verse, FREE verse, prose poem Rimbaud -- denouncing the Symbolist split after Baudelaire, the even, uneven; the sublime, musical; etc. the Verlaine-Mallarmé split, making his own Movement of the Dissolution of all senses, and of his BOUND poetry.

Thoughts?

Kinda sad, senpai. His poems are nothing more than imitations, just look at Le Bateau Ivre.

I don't blame Verlaine. That's one boipussy worth dying for.

To be fair, anyone who starts out with poetry imitates the person he is learning from. However, The drunken boat still is an achievement; he is also most well known for it-- take the time to consider that he wrote it at 16.
Even if it is reused symbolism, and ideas, it's still amazing to have it have such a fresh style.

It still shouldn't be called his greatest achievement -- Les Illuminations should be.
