The Line: "I called to the executioners that I might gnaw their rifle-butts while dying. I called to the plagues to smother me in blood, in sand. Misfortune was my God. I laid myself down in the mud. I dried myself in the air of crime. I played sly tricks on madness" (3).

The introduction
states that Rimbaud dealt in arms.
And he lost a leg.  ¶ 15:20
