Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!Arthur Rimbaud
The first study for the man who wants to be a poet is knowledge of himself, complete he searches for his soul, he inspects it, he puts it to the test, he learns it. As soon as he has learned it, he must cultivate it I say that one must be a seer, make oneself a seer. The poet becomes a seer through a long, immense, and reasoned derangement of all the senses. All shapes of love suffering, madness. He searches himself, he exhausts all poisons in himself, to keep only the quintessences. Ineffable torture where he needs all his faith, all his superhuman strength, where he becomes among all men the great patient, the great criminal, the great accursed one--and the supreme Scholar For he reaches the unknown ....So the poet is actually a thief of Fire

Arthur Rimbaud
He would say, 'How funny it will all seem, all you've gone through, when I'm not here anymore, when you no longer feel my arms around your shoulders, nor my heart beneath you, nor this mouth on your eyes, because I will have to go away someday, far away...' And in that instant I could feel myself with him gone, dizzy with fear, sinking down into the most horrible blackness into death.
Arthur Rimbaud
