What does this mean?

First post - resurrecting a blog long forgotten.  Mainly explaining the title of the blog, "First Delirium".  It's a bit of a descriptor for one of my favorite poems by Rimbaud called "A Season In Hell".  Rimbaud himself was an interesting character who set out to revolutionize poetry itself, fairly well succeeded in that, and then gave it up to become a trader in Africa. 

It's not easy being an artist - even harder being a poet.  "A Season In Hell" details some of the woes and tribulation Rimbaud went through.  Here's a link to an online version - warning though - it's fraught with photos of Leonardo DiCaprio for some reason:
