Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) était un poète français au génie précoce, qui aura marqué la littérature autant par sa vie, dont s'est emparé le mythe, que par son œuvre sans précédent, au fondement de la révolution poétique moderne.
Sa relation passionnée et tumultueuse avec Verlaine deviendra légendaire.

“Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891) is the supreme child genius in the history of poetry. Born in Charleville, France, he attended school there, then left for Paris where he embarked on a disastrous but enormously productive erotic relationship with another great poet, Paul Verlaine. When that affair wrecked itself spectacularly—with Verlaine sent to prison for shooting Rimbaud—Rimbaud apparently abandoned poetry, left Europe, eventually lived in east Africa for some ten years, and returned to France to die of cancer at the age of thirty-seven, a virtually unknown man. Once buried, though, he gradually dawned as the blazing comet of early Modernist verse.”
