I confess I prefer Laforgue, who at his most cryptic is never so wildly tantalising as Rimbaud.
Laforgue was, for four or five years, "reader" to the ex-Kaiser's mama; he escaped and died of la misre.
One may discriminate between Laforgue's tone and that of his contemporary French satirists.
Laforgue was a better artist than any of these men save Corbire.
Laforgue can never become a popular cult because tyros can not imitate him.
