fuckyeahhistorycrushes: Arthur Rimbaud (20 October 1854- 10 November 1891) was a poet in 19th century France. He wrote some great poetry and everybody loved him and his best friend and sometimes lover, Paul Verlaine, loved him so much that he shot Arthur in the ass because he got jealous. He was described by Victor Hugo as “the infant Shakespeare” He decided to retire at the age of 22 and moved to Africa where he started an empire of dealing with ivory. He died at the age of 37. How can you not love such an interesting person?
