Explication de Texte
Il y a sept paragraphes dans « Aube » d’Arthur Rimbaud. « Aube », a paru en 1886 dans Les Illuminations de Rimbaud. C’est un poème en prose. Il n’a ni rime ni vers. Le ton du poème est plutôt fantastique. Le poème comprend sept paragraphes composés de phrases. Le ton du poème est plutôt fantastique. Il n’y a pas les enjambements dans ce poème. Dans ce poème il s’agit un rêve.
Le premier paragraphe est une phrase, un octosyllabe. L’aube d’été est le début d’un jour. Le deuxième paragraphe par contre a quatre phrases. Dans la première phrase de ce paragraphe, il entend « front » comme les façades des palais. Il entend aussi qu’il y a immobilité au front des palais, et il utilise l’imparfait du verbe « bouger ». Les palais ne sont pas réels parce qu’il est possiblement rêvant, suggéré par les événements impossible lesquels se produisent dans le poème. Dans la deuxième phrase, il personnifie l’eau. Cette expression signifie que l’eau était immobile. Dans la troisième phrase, les camps d’ombres sont les ombres projetés par les arbres, et sont également immobile. Dans la quatrième phrase, jouant le sorcier, le poète marche à travers les bois et réveille la nature. D’abord la synecdoque « haleines » qui suggère les animaux, ensuite les « pierreries regardèrent » est la personnification du gouttes de rosée. « Les ailes se levèrent sans bruit « signifient les oiseaux qui s’éveillent. Les haleines et les ailes sont exemples de synecdoque.
Dans le troisième paragraphe, il utilise la synesthésie. Les « frais et blêmes éclats » sont probablement la lumière du soleil. En plus, il personnifie une fleur parce qu’une fleur ne peut pas parler en réalité mais dans le poème c’est différent, « une fleur qui me dit son nom ».
Dans le quatrième paragraphe, le poète aperçoit la déesse. Le « wasserfall blond » synecdoque, représente les cheveux de la déesse, la personnification se matérialise à la « cime argentée », la lumière de la déesse.
Dans le cinquième paragraphe, il poursuit la déesse. D’abord, dans la première phrase de cette strophe, il lève les voiles, les ombres de la nuit qui demeure. La deuxième phrase situe cette rencontre du poète et de la déesse dans l’allée d’une ville. Dans la troisième phrase est le coq. Le coq chante à l’aube. Dans la quatrième phrase, il chasse la déesse à travers une ville que fait penser à Venise avec ses dômes, ses clochers, et ses quais de marbre.
Au sixième paragraphe, il attrape la déesse. Le bois de lauriers de la première phrase suggère Apollon et sa couronne de lauriers. Apollon est le dieu grec de la clarté solaire, de la raison, du chant, de la musique et de la poésie. Le poète est entoure par les voiles de la déesse, les dernières ombres du jour. La grande étendue de la lumière du soleil est matérialisée par « J’ai senti un peu son immense corps ». Lorsque « l’aube et l’enfant tombèrent au bas du bois » c’est midi. Cette phrase suggère que la poète a séduit la déesse. Il dit « il était midi » dans le dernier paragraphe. Il est une métaphore de l’âge adulte.
I'm more concerned with spelling and grammar here.

Shame
So long as the blade has not
Cut off that brain,
That white, green and fatty parcel,
Whose steam is never fresh,
(Ah! He, should cut off his
Nose, his lips, his ears,
His belly! And abandon
But no, truly,I believe that so long as
The blade to his head,
And the stone to his side,
And the flame to his guts
Have not done execution, the tiresome
Child, the so stupid animal,
Must never for an instant cease
To cheat and betray
And like a Rocky Mountain cat;
To make all places stink!
But still when he dies, O my God!
May there rise up some prayer!
Arthur Rimbaud was born in France....
The Parisian Orgy or Paris is Repeopled
O cowards, there she is! Pile out into the stations!
The sun with its fiery lungs blew clear
The boulevards that one evening the Barbarians filled.
Here is the holy City, seated in the West!
Come! we'll stave off the return of the fires,
Here are the quays, here are the boulevards, here
Are the houses against the pale,
Radiant blue-starred, one evening, by the red flashes of bombs!
Hide the dead palaces with forests of planks!
Affrighted, the dying daylight freshens your looks.
Look at the red-headed troop of the wrigglers of hips:
Be mad, you'll be comical, being haggard!
Pack of bitches on heat, eating poultices,
The cry from the houses of gold calls you. Plunder!
Eat! See the night of joy and deep twitchings
Coming down on the street. O desolate drinkers,
Drink! When the light comes, intense and crazed,
To ransack round you the rustling luxuries,
You're not going to dribble into your glasses,
Without motion or sound, with your eyes lost in white distances?
Knock it back, to the Queen whose buttocks cascade in folds!
Listen to the working of stupid tearing hiccups!
Listen to them leaping in the fiery night
The panting idiots, the aged, the nonentities, the lackeys!
O hearts of filth, appalling mouths,
Work harder, mouths of foul stenches!
Wine for these ignoble torpors, at these tables...
Your bellies are melting with shame, O Conquerors!
Open your nostrils to these superb nauseas!
Steep the tendons of your necks in strong poisons!
Laying his crossed hands on the napes of your childish necks
The Poet says to you: "O cowards! be mad!
Because you are ransacking the guts of Woman,
You fear another convulsion from her,
Crying out, and stifling your infamous perching
On her breast with a horrible pressure.
Syphilitics, madmen, kings, puppets, ventriloquists,
What can you matter to Paris the whore,
Your souls or your bodies, your poisons or your rags?
She'll shake you off, you pox-rotten snarlers!
And when you are down, whimpering on your bellies,
Your sides wrung, clamouring for your money back, distracted,
The red harlot with her breasts swelling with battles
Will clench her hard fists, far removed from your stupor!
When your feet, Paris, danced so hard in anger!
When you had so many knife wounds;
When you lay helpless, still retaining in your clear eyes
A little of the goodness of the tawny spring,
O city in pain, O city almost dead,
With your face and your two breasts pointing towards the Future
Which opens to your pallor its thousand million gates,
City whom the dark Past could bless:
Body galvanized back to life to suffer tremendous pains,
You are drinking in dreadful life once more! You feel
The ghastly pale worms flooding back in your veins,
And the icy fingers prowling on your unclouded love!
And it does you no harm. The worms, the pale worms,
Will obstruct your breath of Progress no more
Than the Stryx could extinguish the eyes of the Caryatides
From whose blue sills fell tears of sidereal gold."
Although it is frightful to see you again covered in this fashion;
although no city was ever made into a more foul-smelling
Ulcer on the face of green Nature,
The Poet says to you:"Your Beauty is Marvellous!"
The tempest sealed you in supreme poetry;
The huge stirring of strength comes to your aid;
Your work comes to the boil, death groans, O chosen City!
Hoard in your heart the stridors of the ominous trumpet.
The Poet will take the sobs of the Infamous,
The hate of the Galley slaves, the clamour of the Damned;
And the beams of his love will scourge Womankind.
His verses will leap out: There's for you! There! Villains!
- Society, and everything, is restored: - the orgies
Are weeping with dry sobs in the old brothels:
And on the reddened walls, the gaslights in frenzy,
Flare balefully upwards to the wan blue skies!
I want someone who has witty, astute, stark openness, or dynamical listed as one of their characteristics. .Someone that pushes emotional limits. Someone eclectic and yet aplomb and graceful. I like Friedrich Nietzsche, Arthur Rimbaud, Amanda Palmer, the Jain Buddhists, and those poetic people who are all jittery, scattered, and neurotic. They doesn't have to be all these things at once, but just suggest people that you think I would be interested in studying.
Exactly as my title asks.
Can anyone explain (or attempt to interpret) what is trying to be written here?
Apparently, Arthur was writing a description about his relationship with his wife, his pitiful brother, and himself as an infernal groom.
Thanks in advance ye.
A Season in Hell by Arthur Rimbaud
A while back, if I remember right, my life was one long party where all hearts were open wide, where all wines kept flowing.
One night, I sat Beauty down on my lap.—And I found her galling.—And I roughed her up.
I armed myself against justice.
I ran away. O witches, O misery, O hatred, my treasure's been turned over to you!
I managed to make every trace of human hope vanish from my mind. I pounced on every joy like a ferocious animal eager to strangle it.
I called for executioners so that, while dying, I could bite the butts of their rifles. I called for plagues to choke me with sand, with blood. Bad luck was my god. I stretched out in the muck. I dried myself in the air of crime. And I played tricks on insanity.
And Spring brought me the frightening laugh of the idiot.
So, just recently, when I found myself on the brink of the final squawk! it dawned on me to look again for the key to that ancient party where I might find my appetite once more.
Charity is that key.—This inspiration proves I was dreaming!
"You'll always be a hyena etc. . . ," yells the devil, who'd crowned me with such pretty poppies. "Deserve death with all your appetites, your selfishness, and all the capital sins!"
Ah! I've been through too much:-But, sweet Satan, I beg of you, a less blazing eye! and while waiting for the new little cowardly gestures yet to come, since you like an absence of descriptive or didactic skills in a writer, let me rip out these few ghastly pages from my notebook of the damned.
I am doing a essay on the poem called Novel by Arthur Rimbaud and the book "The catcher in the rye" . Does anyone know how to connect these two or is there any similarity between these two?
plz help me
¨My superiority relies on my lack of heart¨ Jean Arthur Rimbaud.
Do you agree or disagree? To what extent? Why? Examples? If you want 10 points you best make your point.
I read about it in a book on Arthur Rimbaud and I've looked at the wikipedia page but is it different to that weird celebrity cult- the red band thing?
I need help on this English assignment. This is a poem by Arthur Rimbaud during the Symbolism period.
------
The Sleeper in the Valley
It is a green hollow where a stream gurgles,
Crazily catching silver rags of itself on the grasses;
Where the sun shines from the proud mountain:
It is a little valley bubbling over with light.
A young soldier, open-mouthed, bare-headed,
With the nape of his neck bathed in cool blue cresses,
Sleeps; he is stretched out on the grass, under the sky,
Pale on his green bed where the light falls like rain.
His feet in the yellow flags, he lies sleeping. Smiling as
A sick child might smile, he is having a nap:
Cradle him warmly, Nature: he is cold.
No odour makes his nostrils quiver;
He sleeps in the sun, his hand on his breast
At peace. There are two red holes in his right side.
-----
If you could tell me what feelings and emotions you get from this poem, particularly the last two lines, that'll be great.

I'm having trouble finding a good translation of Arthur Rimbaud's complete works... I find they vary greatly? I realise there may not be a difinitive translation, but which do you regard as the best?
Basically it is like six people playing Bob Dylan, but if you look at IMBD/credits it mentions six people that are not Bob Dylan. The six people are Billy the Kid, Jude Quinn, Arthur Rimbaud, Jack Rollins, Woody Guthrie, and Robbie Garth. I know who some of them are, but I just wondered why those people were selected...since it is supposed to be that they are Bob Dylan, but their credited names are not "Bob Dylan." So what is the connection?
this was from one of the interrogation scenes with Arthur Rimbaud (Ben Whishaw). I remember a couple. If someone could reiterate I'd be thankful.
#?never talk to police or anyone in a yellow rain coat?
#?never give your real name
#? one was if you're asked something stare them directly in eyes, they wont ask you again
#?if you see yourself in somebody dont look directly at them.
correct and add on
***Also, in another Arthur scene that had to do with love and something else (emotion?). I think he said both fade and can be swayed very easily. can anyone remember?
thx
Okay the poem really helped. I'm missing two though. It's likely in the poem. I just cant remember what else he said to pick out from the poem.
#1.never trust a cop in a raincoat.
#2.?
#3.when asked if you care about the world's problems, look deeply into the eyes of he that asks you, he will not ask you again.
#4.?
#5.when asked t' give your real name...never give it
#6.when told t' look at yourself...never look.
#7.do Not create anything. it will be misinterpreted. it will not change (anything).it will follow you the rest of your life.
In France, Jogging Is a Running Joke
President's Exercise Regime Has Critics in a Lather
By Joel Garreau
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, July 7, 2007; Page C01
The sight of the new French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, jogging -- often wearing his favorite NYPD T-shirt -- has fired up a tempest in a Reebok in France and Britain this summer. Sarkozy's running is an un-French, right-wing conspiracy, suggests Paris' left-wing newspaper Libération. In response, British commentators gleefully conclude: The French have lost their minds, again.
On the primary state television channel, France 2, Alain Finkielkraut, a leading French intellectual, recently demanded that Sarkozy give up his "undignified" exercise. Not only did he imply that exposing the boss's naked knees is something that never would have occurred in the time of Mitterrand, much less Louis XIV, Finkielkraut claimed strolling is the proper activity of the thinking person, from Socrates to the poet Arthur Rimbaud.

"Western civilization, in its best sense, was born with the promenade," said Finkielkraut. "Walking is a sensitive, spiritual act. Jogging is management of the body. The jogger says I am in control. It has nothing to do with meditation."
Sarkozy has fueled a French suspicion that running is for self-centered individualists like Americans, reports Charles Bremner, Paris correspondent for the Times of London.
"Patrick Mignon, a sports sociologist, noted that French intellectuals had always held sport in contempt, while totalitarian regimes cultivated physical fitness," Bremner writes.
"Jogging is of course about performance and individualism, values that are traditionally ascribed to the right," Odile Baudrier, editor of V02 magazine, a sports publication, told Libération.
The British press is having a wonderful time with all this.
"The Sarkozy jog, say his critics, is a sad imitation of the habits of American presidents, and a capitulation to 'le défi Américain' (a phrase that was the title of a book published here as 'The American Challenge') as bad as the influx of Hollywood movies," writes Boris Johnson, a British member of Parliament and confirmed jogger, in the Telegraph.
"I am not deterred . . . by the accusation that jogging is right-wing," he says. "Of course it is right-wing, in the sense that the facts of life are generally right-wing. The very act of forcing yourself to go for a run, every morning, is a highly conservative business. There is the mental effort needed to overcome your laziness.
"Charles de Gaulle . . . moved with the stately undulation of a giraffe, and never broke into so much as a trot."
Jogging is not a new affectation for Sarkozy. When he was finance minister, visiting Washington for meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, he found it congenial to jog around the Mall, a French Embassy spokeswoman says. Former French ambassador to the United States (and recently named an adviser to Sarkozy) Jean-David Levitte does not indulge, however. Levitte "has a lot of things to do. He is on the run intellectually," she says.
Meanwhile, the readers of British press Web sites are piling on. "No decent conservative would dream of jogging. It's a vulgar, untraditional form of self-advertisement that might frighten the horses. What's wrong with croquet?" posted Ian Morrison on the Telegraph Web site. "Had it been a spot of extracurricular horizontal jogging instead, je pense que ze political classe wouldn't have batted an eye," posted Nixon McVicar.
In the heyday of vaudeville, there was a routine that had one woman complaining about the food at a Catskills resort. "It's terrible," she says. "Yes," agrees her friend, "and the portions are so small."
Just so, not only is Sarkozy's running being criticized, so is his style.
Renaud Longuèvre, a noted coach, tells L'Equipe magazine that Sarkozy's arms hang down, he bends too far forward, his stride is bad and his feet strike the ground incorrectly, Bremner reports. The coach advised the president to get his feet checked, strengthen his abdominal and posterior muscles and to "check your diet because it seems you are carrying a slight excess in weight."
I really like Rober Bly--because he writes with brilliant images, Mary Oliver becuase of the way she speaks directly to the soul, Arthur Rimbaud because of the symolism he uses.
In an English class, I was assigned the poem War by Arthur Rimbaud...
"When a child, certain skies sharpened my vision:
all their characters were reflected in my face.
The Phenomena were roused.
-- At present, the eternal inflection of moments
and the infinity of mathematics
drives me through this world where
I meet with every civil honor,
respected by strange children
and prodigious affections.
-- I dream of a War of right and of might,
of unlooked-for logic.
It is as simple as a musical phrase."
Can anyone help me in understanding the meaning of this poem? Or at least point me in the right direction?
I once heard someone quote a poet, something to the effect of "The truly horrible thing about life is that there's nothing horrible about it". I'm paraphrasing (and not very well). Then I heard Rimbaud once said something similiar. Was it him? And if so, what was the exact quote?
