Arthur Rimbaud’s Sensation is a poetic celebration of nature’s quiet beauty and power to bring peace and joy.

The poem invites readers to embrace the serenity of nature and its ability to nourish the soul, making it a timeless reflection of the harmony between humans and the earth.
In summer evenings, blue, pricked by the wheat
On rustic paths, the thin grass I shall tread,
And feel its freshness underneath my feet,
And, dreaming, let the wind bathe my bare head,
I shall not speak nor think, but stroll.
Through Nature, I shall rove with Love, my guide,
As gipsies wander where they do not know,
Happy as one walks by a woman’s side.
