Poème du Mois - 007 Le dormeur du val

by Arthur Rimbaud

Le Dormeur du Val is a short, powerful poem by Arthur Rimbaud that captures the stark contrast between the beauty of nature and the brutality of war. The poem depicts a young soldier, seemingly asleep in a peaceful valley, yet with the stark reality of his death subtly revealed in the final lines. The imagery is vivid, contrasting the peaceful natural setting with the soldier's lifeless state, creating a haunting and poignant reflection on the human cost of conflict.
