Arthur Rimbaud
Ive always love the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud ,but his life story is what really interested me, I strongly urge everyone to read about this guy,He was born October 20, 1854, in the small French town Charleville. His father, an army captain, abandoned the family when he was six. . at sixteen, he lived as a vagabond on the streets until the poet Paul Verlaine noticed him. Verlaine was thoroughly astonished by this boy’s talent after having read (The Drunken Boat), he and Verlaine became lovers. Shortly after the birth of his son, Verlaine left his family to live with Rimbaud. Their infamous affair was erratic and often hostile., their relationship ended abruptly, following an incident where a drunk and hysterical Verlaine shot Rimbaud in the hand. In 1891 he noticed a pain in his knee. After delaying, he endured a painful trip to Marseilles in May, whereupon doctors were forced to amputate his leg. The cancer, however, continued to spread. He died on November 10, 1891 at the age of thirty-seven
