ohromeos:literature meme || [1/6 poets] Arthur Rimbaud—Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (20 October 1854 – 10 November 1891) was a French poet born in Charleville, Ardennes. He influenced modern literature and arts, inspired various musicians, and prefigured surrealism. He started writing poems at a very young age, while still in primary school, and stopped completely before he turned 21. He was mostly creative in his teens. His “genius, its flowering, explosion and sudden extinction, still astonishes”.Rimbaud was known to have been a libertine and for being a restless soul. -- source link
