About Arthur Rimbaud,
Arthur Rimbaud, in full Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) was a French poet and adventurer who won renown in the Symbolist movement and markedly influenced modern poetry.
In his 16th year Rimbaud found his own distinctive voice in poems whose sentiments swing between two extremes: revolt against a repressive hometown environment, and a passionate desire for freedom and adventure.
By reading a short poem written by him we were supposed to do various activities such as collecting distinct objects, drawing and writing texts which articulates the emotion which the poem conveys through poetic words.
Stanza from the poem "Seascape" by Arthur Rimbaud based on which the work was created:
Chariots of copper and of silver - Prows of silver and steel - Thresh upon the foam, - Upheave the stumps and brambles. The currents of the heath, And the enormous ruts of the ebb, Flow circularly toward the east, Toward the pillars of the forest, - Toward the boles of the jetty, Against whose edge whirlwinds of light collide.
-Arthur Rimbaud

Text written based on the project created:
Sounds like a symphony, is one composed by Mozart, when drunk
One into each other, jumbling around
They look like a wave combined of many layers
Clinging, swinging, when touch each other
Feels like it has thundered on a sunny day
Silence abrupted, ears hurt now
Even the sounds are so confused, they ask questions repeatedly.
Metal rods move back and forth acting like a mad wind chime but with a very bad voice quality. Can someone tell him to rehearse daily?
Perplexity in the movement can be heard clearly, makes the mind puzzled.
But atleast I am fond of this chaos.
After a certain extent the infuration it creates, the uncertainty build, invites Insanity.
But now the frenzy appeals me more, madness is a way out from eternal silence which calms me down.
