Arthur Rimbaud
Rimbaud is the stuff of legend. A short, intense life, always on the
edge, and brought to an early, agonizing end; the consistent refusal to
take easy options; the astonishing firmness of will; the deliberate
deregulation of the senses; the drugs; the homosexual phase; the
arms-dealing in Africa; the slave-trading (unsubstantiated); above
all, the astonishing precocity of major poetry written by the age of
; the subsequent rejection of this poetry––these realities have
combined to give Rimbaud a mythic status which, ironically, would
have appalled him.
The significant facts are these:
Arthur Rimbaud was born in in Charleville, north-eastern
France, hard by the Belgian border. He was the second of four children.
