Arthur Rimbaud
Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud was a French poet known for his transgressive and surreal themes and for his influence on modern literature and arts, prefiguring surrealism.
Stanza from the poem "Lovely thoughts for summer" by Arthur Rimbaud based on which the space was created:
At four in the morning, in summertime,
Love's drowsiness still lasts.
Dawn brushes from the shrubbery
The odor of the night's feast.
Beyond the bright Hesperides,
Within the western workshop of the Sun,
Carpenters in shirtsleeves scramble;
Work is begun.
And in desolate, moss-grown isles
They carve precious panels
Where the wealth of cities laughs
Beneath a hollow sky.
For these charming dabblers in the arts
Who labor for a king in Babylon,
Venus! Leave for a moment
Lovers' haloed hearts.
o Queen of Shepherds!
Carry the purest eau-de-vie
To these workmen while they rest
And take their bath at noonday, in the sea.
