~History~
In the late 1800s French poets Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine had a brief, intense and sometimes violent romantic relationship. Among the French literary elite Rimbaud was known as an "enfant terrible" and they lived a libertine lifestyle peppered with absinthe, opium, and hashish. Their relationship ended with Verlaine in a drunken rage, shooting Rimbaud in the hand.
