Background
A description of the experience
Arthur Rimbaud – from Rimbaud Complete [translated by Wyatt Mason]
He hated dreary December Sundays,
His hair greased flat, sitting on a high mahogany table
Reading from a Bible with cabbage green edges;
Dreams overwhelmed him each night in his little room.
He didn’t love God; instead, the men returning to the suburbs
After dark, in jackets, in the tawny dusk,
Where the town criers, after a trio of drumrolls,
Would stir up crowds with edicts and laughter.
He dreamt meadows of love, where luminous swells
Of nourishing scents and golden pubescence
All move about calmly and take wing
