Entre dentelle et fragment: évolution de la tactique du vide rimbaldienne de la Saison aux Illuminations

Abstract
A Season in Hell and Illuminations both of these collections are considered as masterpieces of Rimbaud’s poetry. Whereas A Season in Hell is presented as his artistic testimony, Illuminations, on the other hand, is considered by critics as an abstruse writing, an enigma. Acknowledging critical scholarship on this topic, as well as inherent differences of both collections, this article will show that a link could be found between these two works. This thread, which creates what we would like to call Rimbaud’s embroidery, was created by himself through silence and words. That is this will of Rimbaud for both works and the readers that we will discuss here, a strategy that we have named: Tactic of Emptiness.
