Poems by Arthur Rimbaud
The Transfixed
... they split their trousers, and their shirt tails flutter in the winter wind ...
Evening Prayer
... in the hands of a barber - a deeply fluted beer mug ...
The Ancient Beasts
... we are wrong to be surprised at the hugeness of their members ...
The Stolen Heart
... When theyve finished chewing their plugs: ...
Venus Anadyomene
... .... Les reins portent deux mots gravés : Clara Venus ...
First Communions
... VII Wholl speak of that languor, those unclean pities, ...
O Seasons, O Chateaux
... That charm! Its taken heart and soul ...
Childhood
... At the border of the forest-- dream flowers tinkle, flash, and flare,-- ...
Sensation
... Sensation Par les soirs bleus d'été, j'irai dans les sentiers, ...
Clearance Sale
... outside any race, any world, any sex, any lineage! Riches gushing at every step! ...
Flowers
... Like a god with huge blue eyes and limbs of snow, ...
Tear
... The wind, from the sky, threw sheets of ice across the ponds ...
Vowels
... O, supreme Trumpet, harsh with strange stridencies, ...
Ophelia
... Ophélie I Sur l'onde calme et noire où dorment les étoiles ...
Shame
... O my God ! May there rise up some prayer ! ...
