Arthur Rimbaud

"On the blue summer evenings, I will go along the paths,And walk over the short grass, as I am pricked by the wheat:Daydreaming I will feel the coolness on my feet. I will let the wind bathe my bare head. I will not speak,I will have no thoughts: But infinite love will mount in my soul;And I will go far, far off, like a gypsy,through the countryside - as happy as if I were with a woman. Sensation"

Arthur Rimbaud Illuminations
"“The poet, therefore, is truly the thief of fire.

A language must be found…of the soul, for the soul and will include everything: perfumes, sounds colors, thought grappling with thought”"
