ARTHUR RIMBAUD

i believe i am in hell therefore i am there. rimbaud

excellent! regret the undertone of this poem is very profound in my life which is why i like rimbaud.

Le Bateau ivre

Comme je descendais des Fleuves
impassibles,
Je ne me sentis plus guidé par les haleurs :
Des Peaux-Rouges criards les avaient pris pour cibles
Les ayant cloués nus aux poteaux de couleurs.

J'étais insoucieux de tous les équipages,
Porteur de blés flamands ou de cotons anglais.
Quand avec mes haleurs ont fini ces tapages
Les Fleuves m'ont laissé descendre où je voulais.

le bateau ivre

Can anyone translate the, I assume, poem that's being read. And what is the title of the poem, please. It would be awesome. Thanks for the help.

The poem is 'La bateau ivre' or in english 'The Drunken Boat' It is about a young boy descending a river that is freed from its crew by indians, and as he floats down the river celebrates his new freedom, only to atlast arrive out at sea and regret that he misses europe. A very sad and prophetic poem of Rimbaud's life.

I think this is an old doc that is being re edited and put up for sale next april

is this a movie or biopic?or documentary?

From what I can deduce it is the documentary of Rimbaud that came out in 1996
