Outrageous French poet Arthur Rimbaud destroyed the classical canons of versification. His juicy, biting word elevated to the rank of an artistic phenomenon what had previously seemed base. Indefatigable in life, he remained a rebel in poetry. Rimbaud's work is permeated with a challenge to the corrupt world, youthful illogicality of perception, a denial of the vulgarity and wretchedness of existence, a rush to boundless freedom. Everything in it is presented on a break and with special expression. The energy of the verse is subject to the will of Rimbaud and his desire to become a clairvoyant poet, revealing the hidden meaning of human life. The lyrical collection of Rimbaud, a representative of a galaxy of "damned" poets who became the forerunner of symbolism, included poems belonging to the treasury of French poetry, including the ballad "The Drunken Ship", the author's most famous work.
