Abstract
A discussion of the theme of childhood in Rimbaud's work, along with an exploration into the many reasons for the transformation of this theme from a confident vision of the future in his early poetry, through a brief time of happy fulfillment, to a nostalgic memory of an idealized past in his later writings.
