Departure

Arthur Rimbaud

Departure

Everything seen...
The vision gleams in every air.
Everything had...
The far sound of cities, in the evening,
In sunlight, and always.
Everything known...
O Tumult! O Visions! These are the stops of life.

Departure in affection, and shining sounds.

City and Everyday Life Memories and Recollections New Beginnings and Rebirth Past and Future

Arthur Rimbaud

1854-10-20 — 1891-11-10 · Charleville

Arthur Rimbaud was a French poet whose brief but intensely prolific career produced some of the most influential works in Symbolist and Modernist literature. Known for his rebellious spirit and visionary poetry, Rimbaud explored themes of transcendence, alienation, and the limits of perception. His innovative use of language, imagery, and verse forms, often fueled by intense personal experiences and experimentation, had a profound and lasting impact on poetry and other art forms, despite his early abandonment of writing.
