Entry: Absinthe and the Apocalyse Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/absinthe_and_the_apocalypse#14767 Post contents: Paul Verlaine introduced Rimbaud to the "Green Fairy", and then was seduced by his young teenage boy into a drunken sexual liasion, which destroyed him. Rimbaud's poetry is obviously inspired by his addiction to Absinthe, and when he grew up and got sober, he became a complete cynic. Rimbaud's poetry is the best example of the power of Absinthe, aand it's easy to see that the "Green Fairy" was also the inspiration of the Book of Revelations. Sent at: 2008 08 30
