The three manuscripts of Arthur Rimbaud offered to the Charleville-Mézières museum finally revealed. Presented for the first time to the public, and free of charge, until this Sunday evening, February 18.
The poem “What holds Nina back”, copied by hand by Paul Verlaine, will then be restored before returning to the museum windows on June 1st. The choice of paper, the words used... We enter into the poet's intimacy thanks to these letters, sometimes slightly stained or creased by use.
