Me too but only because my french isn't very good

>>25205380
Many biographers believe he was raped and he wrote that poem with the reframe of boots and men using his heart as an ashtray as a way to deal with it.
>>
>>25205718
Damn I some how fused, a Captain Beefheart song with this poem haha

The Stolen Heart by Arthur Rimbaud

My sad heart drools on the prow,
My heart soaked in tobacco spit.
They spit streams of liquid,
My sad heart drools on the prow.

Fully erect and terribly martial,
Their insults have degraded it.
Along the tiller you see painted frescoes
Fully erect and terribly martial.
O waves chanting magic spells,
Take my heart and let it be washed clean.
Fully erect and terribly martial
Their insults have degraded it.

When they'll have spit out their tobacco
What will you do then, O stolen heart?
There will be Dionysian hiccups
When they'll have spit out their tobacco.
My stomach will be turning over
Even if I swallow my nausea
When they'll have spit out their tobacco
What will you do then, O stolen heart?

Reminds me of that Pessoa poem about being raped by seamen
>>
>>25205741
Read in the biography by Edmund White (almost a decade ago) that since Rimbaud was 14 he would like to make long trips on foot to Paris. On occasion he would meet people on the road that came to help and support him. That poem was said to be written after a rape where he was taken into a crew of men.

Feel like Pessoa was just a creepy pervert. Mind posting that poem if you can.
>>
>>25205741
Wut?
>>
>>25205741
Which one?
>>
>>25205380
He has a fuckable demeanour so I would say so.
>>
who gave him the pass or did he give himself the pass
>>
>>25205380
What a setup.
>>
>>25205508
Verlaine bottomed
>>
>>25206704
He got the pass on credit; he would earn it later deep in blackest Africa.

Perchance

Is this just a good angle of him? He might not have been the pretty boy twink we all know him as.
>>
>>25207798
Dude, he's like 15 in that pic

>>25207798
this is him during the paris commune
>>
I don't know why but I really like that he just totally quit everything as an adult. I feel like it mirrors my own inner death in a way and I am obsessed with myself.
>>25207798
I think there's a picture of him as a grown man out there
>>
>>25208593
Why does he have a wide negroid nose in this photo? I suspect the photo is warped or something.
>>
>>25208856
It's not actually confirmed it's him, merely speculation.
Likewise two of the adult pictures that are thought to be him most likely aren't either:

>>25207798
Yeah, this >>25207811. Everyone looks better when they're a teenager/young adult. I would still bang him though
>>
>>25205380
>running your fingers through Rimbaud's soft hair
>plapping him relentlessly from behind
>putting your fingers in his mouth and holding him down
Interesting...
>>
>>25208593
Bad angle, but he's still cute

you can barely see his face in this picture
>>
>>25209941
His hairline definitely receded. His taste in facial hair is also abysmal.
