This is one of my favourite poems of all time, it’s delightful how the music is combined with the dialogues and the strength it gets by the effects and the actor of voice, superb
That work of that quality was written by someone before the age of twenty is utterly gobsmacking, many of my favourite writers sang his praises in one form or another over the decades - William Burroughs, Samuel Beckett, HP Lovecraft called him a 'titan', Iain Sinclair, Jean Cocteau, the list goes on winding its way through most of the interesting writers in the world.
Oh Grace in child's dream, of feathered truth and trusting air. The will to be your most divine self is your rudder and the wind is the faith. When I found Rimbaud, I was home again. And my delirium of that day cast me in the sky, where the clouds still move me through this world.
This is an extremely good translation. Unlike most other translations, it conveys the young and irreverent spirit of Rimbaud perfectly. However, it is very incomplete. Bad Blood, for example, is half as long as the original one. The original Season in Hell text would take about an hour to read out loud.
Says right in the intro „In this abridged radio realisation…“ Nonetheless this abridged version is 100x better than any full length version I’ve ever heard. It really comes to life here.
Definitive. This reading, composition, is awesome. I will never read those words again without referring to this reading in my mind. Brings the thing to life eternal. Nice
This was great! I listened to it while running in Central Park this afternoon escaping Corona quarantine for an hour. It was the perfect soundtrack coupled with all the springtime blossoms in full array (April 2020).
The omission of the gay part is unfortunate and really insulting. It was also one of the most human elements of this whole poem. Other than that this was a generous and incredible piece to hear.
Arthur Rimbaud is one of the best poets there ever was, better than Shakespeare. He is up there with Pablo Neruda and T.S. Eliot. The best of the best.
I think Rimbaud was a true visionary and seer. The bit where he writes about seeing carriages in the sky and "white nations" on the beaches. It sounds like he saw the invention of air travel. Like the kid was having hallucinatory visions and seeing into the future. He was certainly doing a lot of drugs: Hashish, Opium.

This is the greatest poetry reading I have ever heard. Utterly kino.
That's how a poem should be read, with passion, energy and purpose...damn.

This really helped me out alot in a time of trouble... still does. Thank you Rimbaud and all the people who worked on this version

Jim Morrison as well relished Rimbaud's work's
Even Martin Amis said 'He drew from the same well as myself...' 😂
interesting to consider as well that Mary Shelley was only 19 when she wrote Frankenstein.
This isnt really shocking to the ones with brains. Yall underestimate kids and yall will pay the price for it everytime.

I believe this was abridged for a radio broadcast.
@@AeolianSkinner it's from Selected Poems and Letters (Penguin Classics)
The homosexual bits have been taken out. Kind of awful they did that. But everything else was incredible.

Fantastic

Nick Wiles check out the movie Total Eclipse if you havent seen it
Joe Martin yeah, liked Eclipse. Can recommend Graham Robb's book "Rimbaud". I found it informative and interesting. A good look into the poet's life.
Really enjoyed David Thewlis. And, of course, Leo was good. I need to try and get that. You'd think I'd already have the damned thing...

@@fletcherchristian2254 It was my great pleasure. Be well. :)
@@fletcherchristian2254 Several friends have since listened to, and also enjoyed your post.
Beautifully rendered. Audio tricks perfectly integrated, not distracting. It's like a Shakespeare monologue when it's read by an actor.

Excellent reading. Thank you
I like reading this from time to time and enjoy his view on society.
That was brilliant, thanks so much for sharing.

Fletcher Christian why is this only a half version of the full poem?

Finally I came to regard as sacred the disorder of my mind
-Arthur Rimbaud
This was great! very erry
This is really weird. I love it! Thanks.
I have blue eyes but I don't butter my hair
Bruh...that's like the greatest line...idk...
all true poets should hear this---and learn how to read a poem,especially at Poetry Readings...
What's the song named at 16:22?
It's Robert Wyatt, dunno the song think it may have written for this performance. Should check out his album rock bottom if interested in him
All other readings are now useless. Thanks a lot...
Brilliant

Miss the stuff about looking thru jail bars
So they left out the gay part but included the n word part OKAY
14:48 my favorite part
Didn't know Warhol did Rimbaud?
They cut out the gay part
They did
Lmao
IM confused. Is this just a season in hell? every version ive heard omits large chunks of this.
I memorised a slightly different translation I sat beauty on my lap..
I think Rimbaud was a true visionary and seer. The bit where he writes about seeing carriages in the sky and "white nations" on the beaches. It sounds like he saw the invention of air travel.

David bowie at 16:25
Posted on Facebook wondering if anyone will listen and if they do I wonder if anyone will focus on the n word geez
this is what he looks like he sounds like xd
2:36
Where Bob Dylan got his inspired
I could have died there insufferable thought
Sorry but I don't buy that this was written by someone before the age of twenty. Maybe Rimbaud lied about his age...
La bonne sans de la terre.
Elprofundus volatillus.
The singing sucks but all else is sick. Love it.
Its Grah ... not grass.
I dig the enthusiasm in delivery but the ducking obnoxious ringing sound makes the video unwatchable
Judge n word..
Ruined it with all these whack ass sounds
This is a gross abridged shi......
This was awful to listen to. It distracted too much from the substance.
Fantastic
