Ernest Delahaye (1853-1930)-was a French writer and essayist. He maintained a long and close friendship with Arthur Rimbaud with whom he first met in April 1865 when they attended school together in Charleville in the Ardennes region of France.[1][2] He and Rimbaud had a shared interest in poetry, and he would help Rimbaud by making fair copies of his drafts for distribution to Rimbaud's literary friends. He was one of the few (seven) recipients of the privately-printed A Season in Hell though Rimbaud later asked for it back to give it to someone else.[3] According to Rimbaud biographer, Charles Nicholl, Rimbaud's "[last] strictly dateable poem" was contained in a letter to Delahaye of 14 October 1875.[4] Verlaine wrote a poem - Sonnet Boiteux - which is dedicated to him. Delahaye mixed his civil service career, working at the Education Ministry,[5] with writing biographical material on both Rimbeau and Paul Verlaine, contributing first-hand accounts of the poets' lives and families.[6] Most of Delahaye's correspondence with Rimbaud and Verlaine survives.
