To be honest, though I know Rimbaud's poems well, I hadn't heard this story until last week. It was in the Daily Mail Travel Section! advertising the forests of the Ardennes in the very North of France. Some bits of my poem are based on one of Rimbaud's poems which describes with affection his big sisters delousing his hair! It sounds like he had two lovely guardian Angels there!
