Écrire pour dire que ce n’est rien, la vie Rimbaud

This essay, which adopts as its point of departure an exploration of Rimbaldian modernity, perceived as a sort of « childhood despair », not in the psychological-biographical sense, but rather as epistemic and metaphysical, envisages the following line “That is to say that this, all of life, is nothing” as an encapsulation of the poetic, scriptural, existential and ethical trajectory of Rimbaud.
