Charles Baudelaire Quote
I worship you like night's pavilion,O vase of sadness, o great silent one,And love you more since you escape from me,And since you seem, my night's sublimity,To mock me and increase the leagues that lieBetween my arms and blue immensity.I move to the attack, besiege, assail,Like eager worms after a funeral.

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.
