Shy, introspective, but when you get to know me, I open up and you might be surprised in what you get out of me. Not always best for faint of heart.
ORDINARY NOCTURNE
One breath tears operatic rents in these partitions,
Destroys the pivots of eroded roofs,
Dispels the limits of the hearth,
Makes casements disappear.
Along the vine I came,
Using a gargoyle as a footrest,
And into this carriage which shows its age
In convex windowpanes, in rounded panels,
In torturous upholstery.
Hearse of my lonely sleep,
Shepard's cart of my stupidity...
The vehicle spins on the grass of an overgrown highway;
In a blemish high on the right window
Revolve pale lunar fictions, breasts and leaves.
A very dark green and a very dark blue blot out the image.
We unhitch and unharness beside a patch of gravel.
- Here we will whistle for storms, for Sodoms and Solymans,
For wild beasts and armies.
(Postilion and dream horses will ride on
through more dense and suffocating groves,
to sink me to my eyelids in the silken spring.)
- And drive ourselves off, whipped through splashing water
And spilled drinks, to roll on the barking of bulldogs...
One breath dispels the limits of the hearth.
- Arthur Rimbaud
You are an Atheist
When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that). You prefer to think about what's known and proven. You don't need religion to solve life's problems. Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy. What's Your Religious Philosophy?
