ill-starred (comic)
"Le Guignon" by Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil, 1857 ("Ill-Starred" trans. William Sigler)
baudelaire is one of my favorite poets of all time, and its only coincidental that he tended to write about the kind of stuff that i imagine spike and buffy might be drawn to (beauty, death, revolt) as a vampire or slayer. i think there is a kind of death within isolation, and they're just two people being alone together.
