点评:Arriving at the Rimbaud Museum on a Thursday, we were told it wasn’t possible to buy a combination ticket for the three museums in Charleville-Mézières (the Musée Arthur Rimbaud, the Maison des Ailleurs and the Musée de l’Ardenne) because a new exhibition, due to open on Saturday at 2 p.m., was being set up at the Maison des Ailleurs. So we either had to pay twice or wait until Saturday, which we thought was rather strange. We decided to wait and went to visit the nearby town of Sedan instead. With hindsight, waiting for the visit of the Maison des Ailleurs wasn’t really worth it. Although Rimbaud lived on the first floor of the house with his mother and sibling from 1869 to 1875, between the ages of 15 and 21, there was nothing concrete to remind of his life in that period. Too many people have lived in the house since then. For us, the place was totally lacking in atmosphere. It isn’t even certain Rimbaud wrote any of his poems there.
Some of our pictures of the Arthur Rimbaud Museum seem to have been attached to the Maison des Ailleurs by mistake.
翻译:周四抵达兰波博物馆时,我们被告知无法购买沙勒维尔-梅济耶尔三座博物馆(兰波博物馆、异乡之家和阿登博物馆)的联票,因为异乡之家正在筹备一个将于周六下午两点开幕的新展览。所以我们要么得付两次钱,要么就得等到周六,这让我们觉得很奇怪。我们决定等到周六再去,转而去了附近的色当小镇。事后看来,等待参观异乡之家其实并不值得。虽然兰波在1869年至1875年间,也就是15岁到21岁之间,曾与母亲和兄弟姐妹住在异乡之家的一楼,但那里并没有什么实物能让人想起他那段时期的生活。此后,这栋房子里住过太多人了。对我们来说,这个地方完全没有氛围。甚至连兰波是否在那里写过诗都无法确定。
我们拍的一些兰波博物馆的照片似乎被误贴到了异乡之家(Maison des Ailleurs)的照片上。
