by
Arthur Rimbaud
Translated by Bertrand Mathieu
New American Translations
Series
"With skill and
imagination, Bertrand Mathieu gives us an intimacy of the spoken
American that allows readers to absorb themselves in Rimbaud's
private drama as in an obsessive dream of our own, Rimbaud
becomes a contemporary of youthful grief, rage, sarcasm and disgust...
Bertrand Mathieu has earned our gratitude and praise for his accomplishment:
to have given us Rimbaud's relevance today."
—David Ignatow
Seascape
Machines
of silver and copper—
Prows
of steel and silver—
Threshing
the foam,—
Turning
over stumps of bramble.
The
currents of the dunes,
The
immense ruts of the ebb tide
Flowing
circularly toward the East
Toward
the pylons of the forest,—
Toward
the timbers of the pier
Against
whose boards whirpools of daylight blow!
