Excerpt from:

The Drunken Boat
"I watched the lightning tear the sky apart,
Watched waterspouts, and streaming undertow,
And Dawn like Dove-People rising on wings—
I've seen what men have only dreamed they saw!"
—Arthur Rimbaud 1871.

★ Definition - Symbolism:
Verse № eight of "The Drunken Boat" mentions (Dawn, Dove) relevant to describe the boat's (Personification) of intense experiences with nature(Nurture). After being freed from human servitude(Control). The symbolic(Metaphor), image(Aesthetic), of the "flock of doves," or "host of doves," serves several symbolic functions in this work, & within the poem's context.

★ Purity - Peace:
The (Dove) traditionally symbolizes the Trinity(†) in Catholicism: Peace(The Father), Innocence(The Son), and Purity(The Holy Ghost). In the context of the boat's contact with Violence(Adversary), Chaos(Diable), observed through a journey of storms "skies bursting with lightning," & "waterspouts." The (Dawn) is an exalted(Confirmation) sensation of eternity(Faith). In that moment of relative calmness(Beauty). This contrasts sharply with the "bitter redness of love" & "mystic horrors" seen later in the poem.

★ Hope - Transcendence:
The (Doves) represent a moment of Spiritual-Other clarity or transcendence during the boat's joyful experience. In addition to the agonizing voyage at hand. The Speaker/Reader describes seeing "what man thought he saw," suggesting a mystical mythos, as a "Ecstatic Vision" almost a pure (Dawn).

★ Visual Aesthetic Contrast:
The image of a flock of (Doves), offers a gentle, natural Polyphony(MashUp), techniques on point as a counter rhythm to the powerful, often violent overwhelming imagery. In this counterpoint is a narrative: Earth(Humanity), of the Sky(Dove), & the Sea(Boat), highlighting the vast spectrum of "oceanic experiences." Which is a heightened feeling of "oneness," with the external world. First described by French writer Romain Rolland 1927. Which the (Boat) is a part of in its emotional intelligence as it undergoes a transformation of liberated(freedom), & state of awareness.

★ Sensory Derangement:
Some analyses suggest this aesthetic use, describes a visually remarkable (Dawn) in terms of emotional movement. As a specific, almost gentle living imagery of the (Dove). Is an example of Rimbaud's practice of "Synesthesia" and/or the "Derangement of All the Senses." Which was central to his poetic theory. Synesthesia is a perceptual act-event, where one "sense" triggers an extraordinary experience in another "sense." Such as seeing colors when hearing music or tasting words.

★"Derangement of All the Senses:"
Coined by French poet Arthur Rimbaud. Presents a specific access trial; to any unknown "Weirding Way." In thus neurological co-context generating meaning between these sensory integrations at tandem with systematically to radically alter (Boundary of Perception) and/or disorder (Dissolution of Interpretation).
Reality observable verifiable runs independent of the mind. Fantasy unrestricted Imagination flows within the mind. In this potent fusion of the two; Fact & Fiction, served as a reversal of self & other. A Remix of the typical roles, MashedUp & forms, MixedUp streams of one's sensory awareness. To transcend mindsets, to bring an end to some factors of being. To achieve new (Self-Expression) a deeper (Self-Creative) understanding of Reality. To visionary insights(Connection), to gain a profound "Sense & Sensibility."
This is not merely about intoxication(Escapism), dependency(Denialism), it's about finding meaning, making. Experiencing something greater than oneself. A deliberate & often painful process (Addiction Recovery), exploring extreme Alt-States of consciousness. Con-Tact-ion with this unique lens Alt-Abstract thinking (Self-Discovery) an "Entity" of the Arts(Self-Knowing). In a world of the Psychological & Philosophical mind; Func. As Sing.-Multi.-Self & Other on many levels within this work. As too a personal "identity" unfolds in a field of the Oceanic whole(Oneness).
Through one's(World) sensory(View) derangements(Madness), is exemplified not only in the mind(Mental Illness). & the Arts; Literature(Boat), Poetry(Dawn), Music(Dove), co-exist as a "Semantic Creature." Which finds expression in the living(Spiritual) arts of Performance! (Duende, Dervishes, Glossolalia).
Conclusion: Rimbaud's model of awareness to see beyond; "The Drunken Boat['s]," bow & Stern streaming across boundaries(Accuser) & the Dove(Redeemer) ordered(Duality) through "His," participation in this Poetic Surreal Schism. well "I," Search for a sublime Oceanic tide, of understanding the Self, & Others involvements in existence...
