Gallon Of Milke A Day



WAS 155 years ago

Yesterday, 20 October marked the anniversary of the birth of Rimbaud (born 1854) ... I missed the boat, and I am therefore the wall. So I publish this post to yesterday's date and thank Gérard Lavalette (aka The Pedestrian Charonne ) for sending photos of wall portraits gleaned throughout his walks. As a bonus, some more photos of my collection, and especially Dja'louz portrait painted on the wall of my living room.

What could be more suitable than a wall to put his head angel? Ernest Pignon-Ernest was one of the first to paste pictures of the " man with soles of wind " in major cities throughout the late '80s. There remains a fresco in Belfort, unfortunately very old and in need of restoration.

There is also a call for mail art on the theme of Rimbaud at the moment, at the initiative of Bérangère Delli.


Here is what the poet says of the word "wall", synonymous with both silence, wall, separation and misunderstanding ... But paradoxically place of communication, expression and freedom, as suggested so well language web platforms, which can be written on a "wall". For Rimbaud, the wall sometimes refers to a thundering sky as it seeks to vanquish, sometimes to a wall full of murky and rough, the receptacle oozing disease and deformity ...

In Drunken Boat, the poet is " Free, smoking, mounted from violet fogs, [hole] the sky glowing like a wall . Sitting In The , elderly to Mass have "The sinciput plated hargnosités waves / Like the lepers of old blooms walls (...)" banging their heads bald / the dark walls, electroplating and plating their twisted legs . Young Couple in " Outside the wall is full of gums vibrate birthworts where elves " [Editor's note: birthworts plants are toxic and carcinogenic]. And The Watchers, " on sections of wall where the cold wind is played / Where there are still some shreds of paper , "he proclaims" Ah! this is too much, crumbling walls and square! .

For Rimbaud freedom passes including the killing of walls ... while I, I fixed the picture on the wall smooth and white of my daily life. This is my way of highlighting the role that Arthur has always had in my life, my thoughts ... read and reread every time is a discovery. Incidentally, the "Literary Magazine" of September last (No. 489) dedicates a dossier which exegetes Rimbaud's most savvy in this area have collaborated. Each year a festival pays tribute to Rimbaud in Charleville on a theme related to his poetry: this year's wandering. His works are in the program's current external aggregation in modern literature and classic, catchy and many titles of essays and conference proceedings.
