Le bateau ivre


 

Le bateau ivre (The Drunken Boat) is a verse-poem written by Arthur Rimbaud in 1871, which is considered to be revolutionary in its use of imagery and symbolism, recalling the stream of visions seen in a psychedelic experience. The poem is arranged in a series of hexameter quatrains (25 in total) with an a/b/a/b rhyme-scheme. It is weaved around the delirious visions of a person lost at sea, adrift on a wooden raft.
