Cancer of the lost soul for A. Rimbaud: cancer like poetry without words in the verbage of the body? The desymbolisation reincarnated

From the poetic works and certain elements biographical or taken from corre spondence in Africa, the author has tried to show how much, in Arthur Rimba ud, the practice of "sensationalism", the neologisms, vertigo, synaethesis, the usage of certain poetical figures try to contre invest in the poetical metaphor a transfer of non-being inherited from the maternal unsconcious. Further more, the fact of the absence of the father, his psyche found itsel f, very early, like the Bateau Ivre, unanchored, without adhesion, which be longs to the cancerous migrant cell. In his roaming in Africa the cancer tr ied, by a reincarnated desymbolisation to fix, in a part of the flesh which of the deadly passion of Vitalie and Arthur was no longer meta-phorisable and could only metastase in a "hard" part and asexue of this being. The poe tical work and that of the cancer appear like eruptions to be facing a tran sfer of non-being, dangerously laden with "psychentropy" that the body inte rpretes silently.
