Why is Rimbaud a meme?
>>7382275
I mean yea, /lit/ sure isn't filled with people his age who dream of his talent.
>>7382559
Isn't it because he's a QT3.14 fuccboi with a feminine penis and his name sounds like rimjob?
>>7383053
Yep. Based Rimjaub
Why would you read a translation? I'm not “memeing” and don't hate to go through a translated piece of work but this isn't an essay or a novel, it is poetry. It can't be read in a foreign language, it's fundamentally impossible.
