Arthur Rimbaud and his poetry

Historians of French poetry include Arthur Rimbaud to the so-called "cursed poets." He created his undisputedly prominent lyrical conventions of his time poems before he was twenty. At age 19, he renounces poetry devoted to the arms trade. He died at the age of thirty-seven, as before a confessor before he died, a priest gave up everything he had written during his teen years. From his contemporary critics and some of his later biographers, he is portrayed as a rapscallion or as a clairvoyant, or as a bum, sometimes as a rogue, or as a perversion, or as a prophet; gathering all the unscrupulous people who are rejected by society, who accumulate "on the brink" of the society by sniffing opiates or provoking gossip with their homosexual ties. Like all of them, Rimbaud experienced his earthly days with the belief that real life is "somewhere else."

Arthur Rimbaud was born in 1854 in the town of Charleville, located in the Ardennes mountain. According to biographers, his childhood is especially important for forming a period in his life. They often refer to his stout mother, who is a symbol of the exemplary religious piety, and the boy is both a dreadful fear and a respectful model. Maybe because of his deep affection for her, Rimbaud organizes his life as a string of departures and returns that determine the rhythm of his existence as early as the teen years. On May 10, 1876, Rimbaud enrolled in the Dutch Colonial Army. It is wrong to assume that only then, at the age of twenty-two, begins his performances with his crazy adventures period of his life. Indeed, he left the army in August and furiously started new crazy projects: in 1877 to leave for Alexandria, in 1879 he traveled to the East of Europe. His life has not been elucidated during his wanderings in Germany, Egypt, Cyprus, Ethiopia, and along the Red Sea coast, which lasted about fifteen years. Some of his biographers admit that during his constant wanderings in the Mediterranean and Africa he was the head of a construction site in Cyprus and a seller in a market in Ethiopia. He's probably also engaged in illegal trading. Among his unusual activities is his service as a translator in a circus traveling around Sweden. His mad adventures ended Marseilles. There amputate one of his legs as they find a malignant tumor in his knee. After surgery, the throat gang of his leg quickly grew. Rimbaud did not endure the harsh physical pains he had suffered and died on November 10, 1891.

A French biographer of Rimbaud argued that his life was as if it were made up of successive failures: first, his renunciation of provincial life, then his renunciation of literature, and finally the refusal of all that made sense of human existence .Whether he wanted it or not, whether he was aware of it or not, the Rimbaud poet turned into a liquidator, a destroyer. First of all, his own creativity, and then his own: this lasted fifteen years of "swinging" radiates a gloomy light that illuminates everything else in his existence. After so many favors declared in his texts, after so many challenges, after so many dreams of "breaks" - with Western Europe's style of life and Western European culture and literature - there is a real goodbye, a dangerous challenge and a "break" life. In the critical poem "Cursed poets," his best friend, Paul Werlen, describes him as follows: "He was a tall, well-slim, almost athlete, with a perfect oval of a fallen angel, with shaggy pale brown hair and pale blue anxious eyes. As an ardeen, except for the good local accent, he lost very quickly, and he possessed the inherent to the people at this end a quick adaptation, which could explain the desperate dryness under the pale Parisian sun of his fountain to use an expression of our fathers direct and correct language has, in the end, quite often been more accurate. " Arthur Rimbaud has left us created fragments of creativity that still confuses literary historians with the challenges he faces. Except for Rimbaud , he is still living a collection "One Season in Hell", all his works have been gathered after his death by the connoisseurs of his avant-garde poetry in the poems "Poems" and "Illuminated". But perhaps because Rimbaud does not think about carrying on any other career, and perceives poetry as a way of being, it becomes a spiritual imagery of thousands of young people nowadays.
