How do you feel about his poetry, lads?

>so was every writer of his age
Jesus Christ... how did they let you out of school believing this?

You've fallen into this ultra niche mindset where if it's not 100% completely and utterly unique then it's cast aside...

>he copied every single them from different writers
Yeah, because there's an immense amount of themes within literature that people can just play around with. It's a given that a work of art borrows heavily from what's been made in the past. Welcome to the canon, asshole.
I don't get what you're trying to prove.

>people in one thread both manage to say dumb shit about Rimbaud and Rilke

Wow... Veeky Forums sure has fallen prey to the Dunning Kruger shakes.

>copying
>not the smartest move a writer/thinker/auteur can make
Plebeian I see

Explain what? An already heavily discussed poem? I took a seminar on Rimbaud like three years ago, so my understanding of him is haphazard. It's a structurally complex poem that is oftentimes analyzed in its totality ignoring the complexity of language and structure and the constraints of symbolism.

Rilke is a hack. Kill yourself, my man.

The guy you're replying to is a fucking idiot. He read a wikipedia article on it, found out Rimbaud alluded to another poem and borrowed a lot of the imagery from it, and this somehow proves that he was a bad writer.

Again, this guy has a very skewed view on what "literature" is. He doesn't know about the perpetual conversation thinkers have over vast amounts of time within the Canon; how the Canon's progress is inherently relied upon by people digging into works already published and using some of that in a new way.
The guy's an overly zealous undergrad who thinks he's hot shit probably.

>found out Rimbaud alluded to another poem and borrowed a lot of the imagery from it
Which one?

Whats that style of painting called? It looks different from other paintings I've seen, its very odd I've no idea how to describe it.

>alluded
fucking kek

Figuier's 'Ocean World'
Michelet's 'The Sea'
Verne's 'Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea'
Hugo's 'Toilers of the Deep'
Poe's 'Garden Pym' and 'The Descent into the Maelstrom'
Baudelaire's 'Journey'

to name a few

also i want to fuck his boipussy

In what way was any of those works "copied"?

t. Bosnia

ah I see I'm well known, but no, that comment wasn't mine.
I, too, still want to COMPLETELY destroy his boyish pussy.

How many of them have you read so far?

that's idiotic. You're judging a poet on his most well known work -- when he still was developing his style. Why don't you faggots ever discuss his lesser known poems in prose (ie Barbarian, Genius, Childhood) or his monumental Une saison en enfer?
It's always La bateau ivre or Ophelie or Voyelles. That's how I know you haven't read past middle school.
idiot

why do people use this term

just call it an asshole lad

delete this

You don't destroy a boypussy, you treat it sensually you tease it and lick at it. You dumb brute.

Spending half of your posts with words like idiot and idiotic is sure damn wise.

Don't answer a question with question.

Thats idiotic and you seem like a total idiot. That's how I know you haven't read past middle school.

Don't answer a statement with a statement, ok?

Let us suppose for a minute that I have not. How does that prevent you from supporting your claim with evidence?

You're an overly zealous undergrad who thinks you're hot shit probably.

c-continue

Let us suppose that I am. How does this relate to the subject of our discussion?

>overly zealous
>not overzealous
Get off my Veeky Forums

Again, you have a very skewed view on what "literature" is.

Let us suppose that I have. How does this prove your initial statement?

Don't answer a statement with a question, ok?

>answering a statement/question combo with a statement/question combo
Who do you think you are?

I'm an idiot who haven't read past middle school. What about you?

I'm a virgin wanna fuck??

Imagine him bending over, blushing.
His pink ring breathes and you look in the abyss.
He's hesitant for a second, but it all disappears.
"Hurry up and put it in me."

G-guys he's like 12 tho

>12
that body is a tight little 17 year old ready to ride old man cock

Do I get to be the active?

If you want where you at bb

you should've added something about his pale milky skin too.

>Paul, I can't stand it in Aden anymore; the hot sun drains my energies and powers. My fragile and sickly, pale skin is turning now red now brown.
>Paul, I miss the pale sun in Brussels. I miss the rouge blood dripping on my skin. At least that was red, not like my now pinkly skin.
>I send you a poem, Paul, unpublished and written when we still were happy.
>I have forgiven you, Paul. Have you forgiven me?
>Remember me. Remember the name Jean Nicola Arthur Rimbaud.

Which of his poems would you recommend?

I've only read "Royalty," translated by John Ashbery, and, I must say, I was not impressed.

Barbarian, Genius, Voyelles, Ophelie, Childhood, and the complete Season in hell.

Roman et Une Saison en Enfer sont mes poèmes préférés de Rimbaud

Okay, thanks. I'll read them.

I don't speak French, but I believe I understand what you said.

His work is pretentious.

ENOUGH

You're pretentious.

Good poet. His prose is better imo. Un Saison en Enfer is a little masterpiece

He was the top you faggot
and he was already a large, gangly adult when this photo was taken

I don't care the beauty of his face in the OP is still stuck in my head.

This beauty?

...

I kinda look like him.

no u dont
I do

oh sure, that petite little body could top something like Verlaine
