O seasons, O castles,
What soul is without flaws?
(Arthur Rimbaud, circa 1871)
Life is the farce we are all forced to endure.
(Rimbaud, A Season in Hell, 1873).
I believe I am in Hell, and so I am there.
(Rimbaud, A Season in Hell, 1873).

Elvis Presley (1935-1977), RIP.

"I
say one must be a seer, make oneself a visionary. The poet
makes himself a seer by an immense, long, deliberate derangement of
all the senses."
(Rimbaud letter, 1871)
Once,
I remember well, my life was a feast where all hearts opened and all wines
flowed.
