But what's in a face, or a night alone. Pasolini said, When I die, and when I close my eyes, the beautiful boys will run in the light. Even angles have some pride. The little things thy steal may buy castles, or may buy a night of love. -----from my song RIMBAUD this is a great page you have made . I was reading Rimbaud,
and I thought of some kids I’de known.
But what’s in a face,
or a night alone.

Pasolini said, When I die,
and when I close my eyes,
the beautiful boys
will run in the light.

Even angles have some pride.
The little things thy steal
may buy castles, or may buy
a night of love.

I'm fascinated how muses are often very much connected. But being influenced by his poetry changed my style for a good time, and my work entitled "The Great Ascension", which is largely and metaphorically about my own life, would not have been possible without Rimbaud's "A Season In Hell". And I consider "The Great Ascension" my strongest and greatest work as of yet. God bless Rimbaud. When I save up the money, I'm getting his name/autograph tattooed on my arm, as well as Comte de Lautreamont (Isidore Ducasse, another great young writer who died at the age of 24). The best literary works were truly written between 1850-1900. I’ve adored Rimbaud for close to a year now, beginning when I first noticed his picture in “The Diaries of Courtney Love”.

I still always wondered how a relation to these texts can be constructed/translated in/to today - I myself found it not easy at all, to say the least. Text only poetry (much driven by formal considerations and /wordly/ aspirations) is much a 19th century idea and dead I´d say. Suggestion for a Cultural Studies-paper: Arthur vs. Devon - incl. perhaps Nick McDonell and Benjamin Lebert as side kicks representing currently acknowledged, rather conventional wisdoms/biographies, for reference testing purposes. P.S. Doesn´t matter if Leo was in that movie or not, and how he looked. That misses the point but seems to strengthen my vaguely elaborated thesis. I find him btw rather kind of clumsy in that character, not bringing it to adequate life. Despite of being cute.. And thanks for "Der Blaue Reiter" - exceptionally eclectic stuff I wasn´t aware of.

The movie is acted very well from beginning to end, the cinematography is great, the story line engaging, and - as I've always been a DiCaprio fan - equally great for his characterization of Rimbaud (some of the mood swings he does as an angst-driven, teen Rimbaud is phenomenal!), nudity, sex scenes, and and and..... yeah, Dicaprio was very cute in this film. Highly recommended. I’ve gotten this movie in the past (for myself and a couple friends) using Amazon.com.

If you like Leo (back when he was a very talented young actor, not a Hollywood slock king) check out "The Basketball Diries" where he plays Jim Carrol. Funny thing, Rimbaud was an idol to Jim Morrison's, and Morrison an idol to Carrol. I love Rimbaud’s poetry, and that movie.

I must say that I had never heard of them but listening to tracks posted on the net, I am in for a few hours of fantastic music.
