Illuminations is an incompleted suite of prose poems by the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, first published partially in "", a Paris literary review, in May–June 1886.
 The texts were reprinted in book form in October 1886 by Les publications de La Vogue under the title "Les Illuminations" proposed by the poet Paul Verlaine, Rimbaud's former lover.
 In his preface, Verlaine explained that the title was based on the English word "illuminations", in the sense of coloured plates, and a sub-title that Rimbaud had already given the work.
 Verlaine dated its composition between 1873 and 1875.
Soleil et chair ("Sun and Flesh" in English) is a poem written by Arthur Rimbaud in May 1870.
 The work, while being unmistakably Rimbaud, nevertheless exhibits the influence that both Romanticism and Latin writers such as Horace, Virgil, and Lucretius had on his early style.
 It takes the tone of a hymn to the sun and earth—with overt sexual overtones—which periodically lapses into a lament of the abyss that now separates Man from Nature.
 Throughout, double entendres figure widely, often providing the sexual innuendos.
 The poem, which consists of four sections, is written in Alexandrines, or 12-syllable lines—typical to French verse in the same way that iambic pentameter is to English.
 In spite of its relatively classical form, the direct nature of its venereal themes sounds shockingly modern to even today's reader; moreover, the sheer creativity of Rimbaud's imagery would seem to presage his later refinement of this stylistic trait, which has since earned him the title of Visionary.
De rerum natura (] ; On the Nature of Things) is a first-century BC didactic poem by the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius (c. 99 BC – c. 55 BC) with the goal of explaining Epicurean philosophy to a Roman audience.
 The poem, written in some 7,400 dactylic hexameters, is divided into six untitled books, and explores Epicurean physics through richly poetic language and metaphors.
Titus Lucretius Carus ( ; 15 October 99 BC – c. 55 BC) was a Roman poet and philosopher.
 His only known work is the didactic philosophical poem "De rerum natura" about the tenets and philosophy of Epicureanism, and which is usually translated into English as "On the Nature of Things".
 Lucretius has been credited with originating the concept of the three-age system which was formalised from 1834 by C. J. Thomsen.
The Spiritual Hunt (French: "La Chasse spirituelle" ) is a prose poem purportedly written by French writer Arthur Rimbaud, claimed to be his masterpiece by his friend and lover Paul Verlaine.
 Supposedly strongly resembling in form the only book he published during his lifetime, "A Season in Hell", the poem is considered to be one of the most famous lost artworks, even though in 1949, a twelve-page work by the same title was unveiled to the public by Pascal Pia; Rimbaud scholars, almost unanimously, have denounced this poem as a literary forgery.
The three-age system is the categorization of history into time periods divisible by three; for example, the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age, although it also refers to other tripartite divisions of historic time periods.
 In history, archaeology and physical anthropology, the three-age system is a methodological concept adopted during the 19th century by which artifacts and events of late prehistory and early history could be ordered into a recognizable chronology.
 It was initially developed by C. J. Thomsen, director of the Royal Museum of Nordic Antiquities, Copenhagen as a means to classify the museum’s collections according to whether the artifacts were made of stone, bronze, or iron.
Vitalie Rimbaud - born Jeanne Rosalie Vitalie Rimbaud on 15 June 1858 in Charleville et died 18 December 1875 in the same town – was the eldest of the two sisters of Arthur Rimbaud.
Une saison en enfer (English: A Season in Hell) is Léo Ferré's last studio album.
 It sets into music the whole eponymous poem written in 1873 by French poet Arthur Rimbaud.
 The album was released in 1991 by EPM Musique (982 181), for the 100th anniversary of Rimbaud's death, both as double LP and CD.
 It was reissued in 2000 by Ferré's son's label La Mémoire et la Mer, under a new cover.
Ernest Delahaye (1853–1930) was a French writer and essayist.
 He maintained a long and close friendship with Arthur Rimbaud with whom he first met in April 1865 when they attended school together in Charleville in the Ardennes region of France.
 He and Rimbaud had a shared interest in poetry, and he would help Rimbaud by making fair copies of his drafts for distribution to Rimbaud's literary friends.
 He was one of the few (seven) recipients of the privately printed A Season in Hell though Rimbaud later asked for it back to give it to someone else.
 According to Rimbaud biographer, Charles Nicholl, Rimbaud's "[last] strictly dateable poem" was contained in a letter to Delahaye of 14 October 1875.
 Through Rimbaud, Delahaye also met poet Paul Verlaine and became friendly with him.
 Verlaine wrote a poem - "Sonnet Boiteux" - which is dedicated to him.
 Delahaye mixed his civil service career, working at the Education Ministry, with writing biographical material on both Rimbaud and Verlaine, contributing first-hand accounts of the poets' lives and families.
 Most of Delahaye's correspondence with Rimbaud and Verlaine survives.
Catullus 58b is a poem written by the Roman poet Catullus (ca. 84 BC – ca. 54 BC).
 In this poem he tells that under no circumstances would he grow weary of searching for his friend, the Camerius of Catullus 55.
 The meter is hendecasyllabic, the same as Catullus 55.
 There is debate as to the provenance of the poem.
 Some scholars have tried to tie it to Catullus 55, though the only connection may be that the writer chose to cut it out of 55.
 Others believe that it was an earlier draft of the poem.
 Still others feel it was a separate poem entirely and that it stands well as such.
 A discarded view is that Catullus did not write 58B.
