Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (1854 – 1891) was a late-19th century French poet known for his influence on modern literature and arts through the transgressive themes in his works that bordered on surrealism.[1] He was in a relationship with fellow poet Paul Verlaine.
Biography[]
In 1870 during his teenage years in Paris, Rimbaud met the British Assassin Simeon Price, who saved him from being arrested when he failed to procure a ticket at the train station. The incident left a long lasting impression on Rimbaud, who never forget his helpers.[2]
Three years later, Rimbaud, now a young adult, encountered Simeon once again, this time at a publisher's office in Brussels. Simeon was there with the Egyptian Assassin Gamal Sabry while preparing to leave for Paris. Rimbaud shook hands with Simeon and conversed with Gamal, who recognised his fame and spoke of Rimbaud's own poem The Orphans' New Year's Gifts. After a bit conversation regarding his later lover Verlaine, Rimbaud left after asking for Simeon's name and promising to send some of his works with Gamal.[2]
