Arthur Rimbaud's 152nd birthday.

The Arthur Rimbaud Forum has been extended and is now also a part of the new Symposium of the 'The Decadents and farther...' website. Updates on the "DECADENT POETS --> ARTHUR RIMBAUD --> ESSAY & BIOGRAPHY" page include, 'Invidious Acquaintance', — an imaginary diary entry in the voice of Paul Verlaine's then wife, Mathilde Mauté; 'The Foolish Virgin', — a horrible interpretation on one of Rimbaud's prose poems from his A Season in Hell; 'I is not Rimbaud', — an essay discussing the objectivity and subjectivity of artworks. There is also an english language translation of Isabelle Rimbaud's, 'Mon frère, Arthur Rimbaud,'. On the "DECADENT POETS --> ARTHUR RIMBAUD --> MANUSCRIPTS & SKETCHES page, there is a series of sketches by many of those who knew Rimbaud during the time he was in Paris; as well as a photographical tour of 8 Royal College Street, Camden, London.
