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 Alexandrins, 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 moder

dbo:abstract
  • Soleil et Chair est un poème d'Arthur Rimbaud écrit en 1870. Le manuscrit autographe, daté mai 1870, est conservé à la British Library. Il a fait partie des poèmes remis à Paul Demeny et donc de ce qui est appelé le Cahier de Douai. Rimbaud a ajouté, au crayon, sur le dernier feuillet : « Je viens vous dire adieu, je ne vous trouve pas chez vous. Je ne sais si je pourrai revenir ; je pars demain, dès le matin, pour Charleville — j'ai un sauf-conduit — Je regrette infiniment de ne pas pouvoir vous dire adieu à vous […] Je vous écrirai. Vous m'écrirez ? pas ? » Le poème figure, dans une version un peu différente, dans la lettre adressée par Rimbaud le 24 mai 1870 à Théodore de Banville. Cette version est connue sous le nom "Credo in unam...". Cette version, dite "Banville", diffère de la version "Demeny" qui est "plus radicalement athée". Soleil et Chair a été publié pour la première fois dans Reliquaire, poésies, L. Genonceaux, 1891. Soleil et Chair ainsi que Credo in Unam... ont fait l'objet de nombreuses études ; il s'agit d'un poème important de Rimbaud. (fr)

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.
