Poetry Quote by Arthur Rimbaud — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“L'aube exalteé ainsi qu'un peuple de colombes, et j'ai vu quelquefois ce que l'homme a cru voir!”

“I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still.”

“Morality is the weakness of the mind.”

“The poet, therefore, is truly the thief of fire.”

“Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,”

“From love's plectrum arises”

“You see how I try”

“first seek ye the kingdom of pure practical intelligence”

“I think there's a kind of desperate hope built into poetry now that one really wants, hopelessly, to save the world. One is trying to say everything that can be said for the things that one loves while there's still time.”

“MAN is a slave only to his own mental lethargy.”
