Charles Baudelaire Quote
As if, with beasts' eyes, angels ledThe way, I slip back to your bed, Quiet as a hooded light,Hushed by the shadows of the night. And then, my dark one, you shall soonEmbrace the cold beams of the moon,Around a fresh grave, the chilling hissOf serpent coiled shall be my kiss.When morning shows his livid faceYour bed shall feel my empty place,As cold as death, till fall of night.Others take tenderness to wife:

About Charles Baudelaire
His most famous work, a book of lyric poetry titled Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), expresses the changing nature of beauty in the rapidly industrialising Paris caused by Haussmann's renovation of Paris during the mid-19th century. Baudelaire's original style of prose-poetry influenced a generation of poets including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé. He coined the term modernity (modernité) to designate the fleeting experience of life in an urban metropolis, and the responsibility of artistic expression to capture that experience. Marshall Berman has credited Baudelaire as being the first Modernist.
