Hi John, 

there is a reference to Rimbaud in "Siebzig Verweht"-9.November.1990-its
in a letter to Helena Paz(pg.474 in the paperback edition).  There are
probably more, but this one sticks out because its also a reflection on
poetry.  Somewhere I recall Juenger mentioning Rimbaud's vita, i.e. his
choice of a "stable income" in the last years of his life over the
life a poet but I'm not sure where(maybe in "Autor und
Autorschaft"-near the beginning?).
As well, there are references in the "Paris Diaries":
18.01.1942
10.02.1943
08.05.1943
There are probably more in there as well.
