The great French poet, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891), who completed his revolutionary body of work by age nineteen, shattered once and for all the restraints that bound Western poetry to the realms of reason, history, and tradition. Dreamlike and visionary, yet stonishing in their technical assurance, his poems gave to world literature not merely a new language, but a new- a wilder- experience of reality.
