"Oh arthur arthur. we are in Abyssinia Aden, making love smoking cigarettes, we kiss, but its much more, azure, blue pool, oil slick lake, sensations telescope, animate, crystalline gulf, balls of colored glass exploding, seam of berber tent splitting, openings, open as a cave, open wider, total surrender." -“Dream of Rimbaud,” Patti Smith, Witt

“I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; Garlands from window to window; Golden chains from star to star ... And I dance.”  -Rimbaud, Complete Works

"I will not speak, I will not think a thing,
Yet infinite love will rise up into me.
Far, far I will wander like a vagabond
In Nature like a woman's company."
                          -Rimbaud, "Sensation"

“The silence drew off, baring the pebbles and shells and all the tatty wreckage of my life. Then it gathered itself, and in one sleeping tide, rushed me to sleep.”
