While "The Drunken Boat" is a genuinely impressive poem (despite the fact that I'm reading it in an English translation from the original French), "A Season in Hell" is a bit too formless for my taste. It certainly contains some powerful language, but rambles quite a bit and doesn't really seem to have much of a discernible shape or purpose. It's an interesting read, but nothing particularly memorable.

mind blowing, haunting, beautifully written.
It's like Rimbaud poured his heart, his mind, his soul into it and rather than just reading his writing, I felt like I was listening to his inner thoughts. It's beautiful, wonderfully so.
I fell in love after I read Delirium I.

"Oh that! the clock of life stopped just now. I am no longer in the world"
I don't have too much to say on this one, other than that the writing was absolutely beautiful. There were a few instances where I didn't feel as connected to the story, but overall I enjoyed this a lot.

En tid i helvetet är den enda bok som Rimbaud själv gav ut – och den är skriven mitt i ett destruktivt förhållande men den äldre poeten Paul Verlaine. Det är en diktsamling som bäst kan beskrivas med ångest och smärta... helt enkelt en resa genom helvetet.
Jag var tvungen att erkänna för mig själv att poesi är till större del inte för mig. Rimbaud tillhör tyvärr till större del den sorts poesi. Det är inte det att jag inte sög upp varenda ord. För det gjorde jag. Rimbaud har skrivit en del av mina favoriter. Men jag har svårt för hans sätt att bygga upp sina dikter – jag är mer för poesi som känns som en poetisk berättelse. Så, bitar av diktsamling var underbar men i helhet hade jag svårt att verkligen njuta av den.

Wow, definitely a poet before his time. His biography is even more interesting than his work. Highly recommend.
For some reason I have never been fond of poetry, and unfortunately this did not sway me like I hoped it might. I found everything far too choppy, making it difficult for me to become engrossed. Perhaps I read this too quickly and might benefit from a re-read. On the positive side, I like that this specific edition had the original French and the English translation page by page.
