The Drunken Boat by Arthur Rimbaud, read by Ben Kelly
300 SUBSCRIBERS STRONG! :D
Here’s another poetry reading, recommended to me by my English Literature-prodigy brother. This poem was definitely the most fun one to read thus far, and it allowed me to read the stanzas with a bit more zeal than the previous two!
Hope you all enjoy and have a good week!
Ben
STANZAS:
As I was going down impassive Rivers,
I no longer felt myself guided by haulers:
Yelping redskins had taken them as targets
And had nailed them naked to colored stakes.
I was indifferent to all crews,
The bearer of Flemish wheat or English cottons
When with my haulers this uproar stopped
The Rivers let me go where I wanted.
Into the furious lashing of the tides
More heedless than children’s brains the other winter
I ran! And loosened Peninsulas
Have not undergone a more triumphant hubbub
The storm blessed my sea vigils
Lighter than a cork I danced on the waves
That are called eternal rollers of victims,
