One of this author's poems declares that he has "always hated a woman merely pretty / Rhyme that's assonant, the friend who's prudent," and begins by noting how, as a child, he "dreamt of the Koh-i-Noor."

For ten points, identify this French poet of "Claire de Lune" and the collections Fetes Gallantes and Saturnine Poems, who non-fatally shot his lover Arthur Rimbaud.
