The prose poems of the great French Symbolist, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891), have acquired enormous prestige among readers everywhere and have been a revolutionary influence on poetry in the twentieth century. They are offered here both in their original texts and in superb English translations by Louise Var se. Mrs. Var se first published her versions of Rimbaud's Illuminations in 1946. Since then she has revised her work and has included two poems which in the interim have been reclassified as part of Illuminations. This edition also contains two other series of prose poems, which include two poems only recently discovered in France, together with an introduction in which Miss Var se discusses the complicated ins and outs of Rimbaldien scholarship and the special qualities of Rimbaud's writing. Rimbaud was indeed the most astonishing of French geniuses. Fired in childhood with an ambition to write, he gave up poetry before he was twenty-one. Yet he had already produced some of the finest examples of French verse. He is best known for A Season in Hell, but his other prose poems are no less remarkable. While he was working on them he spoke of his interest in hallucinations--"des vertiges, des silences, des nuits." These perceptions were caught by the poet in a beam of pellucid, and strangely active language which still lights up--now here, now there--unexplored aspects of experience and thought.Binding Type: Paperback

✨✨✨✨✨
This little cowboy shirt is adorable! The fabric is soft and comfortable for my toddler, and it held up well after a couple of washes without shrinking or fading. The snaps make it super easy to get on and off, which is a lifesaver with a wiggly kid. The stitching and details give it a genuine western look, and my child loved wearing it.
No complaints here—it’s a fun, well-made piece that looks even cuter in person.

Great Quality Shirt and Nice Color
Size: 14, Color: Khaki, Size: 14, Color: Khaki
This cowboy shirt is excellent, but make sure to size up if your child is bigger. My son is 9 years old, and I had to order the 14-year size for a good fit. The fabric is very good quality, and I really loved the color. It looks great and feels warm

A good First Communion suit
Size: 6, Color: White, Size: 6, Color: White
This suit looks and feels really nice even though it’s not 100% linen. My son is an average size 7 year old, but I got a size 6 so that the fit would be nice and snug and not loose and baggy. It was the right choice. Comes with a bow tie which is nice, a tie (which is very cheap and poorly made) and a pocket square.

Very stylish💜💜
Size: 6, Color: Light Blue, Size: 6, Color: Light Blue
This little suit for boys is very stylish. I bought it for my grandson for a wedding occasion and it looked very nice. The fabric is not too thick so for the summer wedding it was great. I pick the blue color and it looked fantastic!
