A description of the experience
Arthur Rimbaud – from Rimbaud Complete [translated by Wyatt Mason]
This idol, black eyed and blonde topped, without parents or playground, and nobler than Fables, whether Aztec or Flemish; his domain of insolent blues and greens borders beaches named by shipless waves, names ferociously Greek, Slav, Celt.
At the edge of the forest – dream flowers chime, brighten to bursting – an orange lipped girl, cross legged in a flood of light soaking the fields, her nakedness shaded, crossed, and clothed by rainbows, blossoms, sea.
Ladies promenading on terraces by the sea; toddlers and giants, gorgeous black women garbed in grey moss green, jewels set just so into the rich ground of the groves, the unfrozen gardens – young mothers and elder sisters, faces flushed with pilgrimage, sultanas, princesses pacing in lordly gowns, girls from abroad, and sweetly melancholy souls.
