Description
Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) French Poet
Childhood (excerpt), from Illuminations by Arthur Rimbaud (translated by Eric Edelman)
I am the saint, in prayer on the terrace--like the peaceful beasts that graze down to the sea in Palestine.
I am the scholar of the dark armchair. Rain and branches hurl themselves at the casement of my library.
I am the pedestrian on the highway by the dwarf woods; the murmur of the sluices drowns out my footsteps. For a long time I can see the melancholy golden wash of the sunset.
I might well be the child abandoned on the jetty headed for the high seas, the servant-boy following the wooded path whose forehead touches the sky.
The footpaths are rough. The hillocks are covered with broom. The air is still. How far off are the birds and springs! This can only be the end of the world ahead.
