SUMMARY
The analytical listening of the texts of the work and the letters of Rimbaud is not without soliciting on the part of the psychoanalyst reader a transfer leading to discover in the poet a tormented psychic space, for whom writing, and the way of living it fully-This could be described as a wild analysis, which the author tries to argue here. This hypothesis is based, among other elements, on Rimbaud's famous phrase « I is another ». This shows a brilliant perception of the “other” in us, the unconscious. Rimbaud's formula is, moreover, preceded by the phrase: «It is wrong to say: I think. We should say: one thinks me ». We could say that with this «one thinks me» Rimbaud expresses what V. Tausk will develop fifty years later: the existence of a thought lived as external, what he
called a «machine to influence». This sentence can also be related to what D. Anzieu emphasizes, namely that «the human being first thinks with the thoughts of others», which is in line with Bion's reflections on the existence of pre-existing thoughts to think.
