Rimbaud, Arthur. “To Paul Demeny.” Trans. Oliver Bernard. 15 May 1871.
Translation: “The poet makes himself a seer by a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses. Every form of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he consumes all the poisons in him, and keeps only their quintessences.”
