A Closer Look at Some of the Poems in The Galloping Hour
"Le Bateau Ivre" ("The Drunken Boat") by Arthur Rimbaud
"Le Bateau Ivre" is one of the most famous poems in French literature. It was written by Arthur Rimbaud when he was just 17 years old, and it captures the sense of youthful rebellion and adventure that characterized his early work. The poem is a free verse masterpiece that describes the journey of a drunken boat as it travels through the ocean. The boat encounters a variety of obstacles and challenges, but it ultimately emerges from the experience stronger and more resilient.
"Le Corbeau" ("The Raven") by Edgar Allan Poe
"Le Corbeau" is a translation of Edgar Allan Poe's classic poem "The Raven." It was translated into French by Stéphane Mallarmé, one of the most important poets of the Symbolist movement. Mallarmé's translation is a faithful rendering of Poe's original, and it captures the poem's eerie atmosphere and haunting imagery.
"Sonnet d'Automne" ("Autumn Sonnet") by Charles Baudelaire
"Sonnet d'Automne" is one of the most famous sonnets in French literature. It was written by Charles Baudelaire, one of the most important poets of the 19th century. The poem describes the beauty of autumn, but it also hints at the darker side of the season. The poem's final line, "Et l'automne est pour moi la saison des regrets" ("And autumn is for me the season of regret"),is a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of life.
