📖I've been reading poems from The Flowers of Evil (𝓛𝓮𝓼 𝓕𝓵𝓮𝓾𝓻𝓼 𝓭𝓾 𝓶𝓪𝓵) by Charles Baudelaire.

The poems which I've read so far are beautiful. (On one of the pictures you can see my favorite one so far)

His life was characterized by extreme contrasts as well as his poetry. He lived a bohemian life which is reflected, can be seen on his writings.

The title mirrors the same. He made beautiful flowers of art bloom from evil and corruption.

I love his writings, especially because of the never ending, extreme oppositions. I'm also fascinated by the way he managed to write these poems. He worked with incredible care and extraordinarily slowness but he made a magnificent work of art, which still has its influence and importance.

Bevo,

nei suoi occhi vividi di tempesta,

la dolcezza che incanta

e il piacere che uccide.

Me an intellectual: We probably shouldn't have 2 baristas who are clearly in a relationship working together..

Also me an intellectual (to an innocent customer): Hello sir, has anyone told you you look like 'Larry your waiter'?

Ta main se glisse en vain sur mon sein que se pâme. (…) Ne chercez plus mon cœr; les bêtes l'ont mangé. La tua mano scivola in vano sul mio petto che si strugge. (…) Non cercare più il mio cuore: le belve l'hanno divorato.

Charles Baudelaire, Les fleurs du mal, Causerie - conversazione.
