One of the crucial keys to Rimbaud’s « Barbare », that world at the edge of the world is probably to be found in the intertextual game that the « proem provokes and invites us to explore. Such a viewpoint leads us to venture into the Tour du monde de 1874, and to make an inventory of the verbal « coincidences » - not in the sense of fortuitous similarities, but as texts superimposed with precision in a palimpsest. In this way, a large part of the rimbaldian vision is due to an anamorphotic retrieval of travel.
