Byron, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Celine… where are you?
Rimbaud 's Illuminations.
He was also drawn to the poetry of William Blake, Charles Baudelaire, and Arthur Rimbaud.
Rimbaud had begun taking a keen interest in politics by the time the Franco-German War began
in July 1870.
In his correspondence with family and friends, Rimbaud indicates that he spent his adulthood in a constant struggle for financial success.
Rimbaud's Illuminations was published in 1886,
and subsequently his other works were also published, influencing Surrealists and Modernists during the Belle Époque and after.
Rimbaud also said that Crass were heavily
involved with the hippie movement throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with Dial House being established in 1967.
When we discover that Rimbaud did not write La Chasse spirituelle,
we cannot pretend that the meaning of this proper name, or that of the author, has been altered.
Penny Rimbaud of the English anarcho-punk band Crass said in interviews,
and in an essay called The Last Of The Hippies, that Crass was formed in memory of his friend, Wally Hope.
