There shall be poets! when woman's unmeasured bondage shall be broken, when she shall live for and through herself, man--hitherto detestable--having let her go, she, too, will be poet! woman will find the unknown! will her ideational worlds be different from ours? she will come upon strange, unfathomable, repellent, delightful things; we shall take them, we shall comprehend them.

There Shall Be Poets! When Woman's Unmeasured

Arthur Rimbaud
There shall be poets! when woman's unmeasured bondage shall be broken, when she shall live for and through herself, man--hitherto detestable--having let her go, she, too, will be poet! woman will find the unknown! will her ideational worlds be different from ours? she will come upon strange, unfathomable, repellent, delightful things; we shall take them, we shall comprehend them.

More From Arthur Rimbaud

One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. she cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect.....nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.
Children Men Desire
There is this tendency to think that if you could only find the magic way, then you could become a poet. "tell me how to become a poet. tell me what to do." . . . what makes you a poet is a gift for language, an ability to see into the heart of things, and an ability to deal with important unconscious material. when all these things come together, you're a poet. but there isn't one little gimmick that makes you a poet. there isn't any formula for it.
Heart Thinking Magic
Perhaps i will die too, she told herself, and the thought did not seem so terrible to her. if she flung herself from the window, she could put an end to her suffering, and in the years to come the singers would write songs of her grief. her body would lie on the stones below, broken and innocent, shaming all those who had betrayed her. sansa went so far as to cross the bedchamber and throw open the shutters ... but then her courage left her, and she ran back to her bed, sobbing.
Song Lying Grief
I work at a record label where i have archives. these things [memorabilia] occurred and are important to somebody, and they're important to me. i find the record industry largely repellent. this music, the teen idles, all of that stuff, is important to me. i don't have lawyers, an agent or a manager. however i find the music industry largely repellent. i just make records because that's what i love to do. so i think that era, those pieces of media, i keep in my collection.
Thinking Media Important
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates. broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts.
