Le Vampire - art by Albert Decaris (1944)
Does anyone know where a copy of Charles Nodier's play Le Vampire can be found online in English?
The reference post I was using links to a now defunct website, and the Wayback Machine did not help to retrieve it from said site.
I have access to the play in French and I can run the whole thing through Google Translate, but I'd rather not read it that way if possible.
Jean Painlevé's short documentary about vampires and bats is a creative milestone in vampire history, examining the creature's foundations in nature.
Eugene Delacroix, Le vampire (1825)
Le Vampire (Jean Painlevé, 1945)
El vampiro
Tú que, como una puñalada,
entraste a mi corazón doliente;
semejante a un tropel de demonios,
llegas, loca y adornada,
En mi espíritu humillado
haces tu lecho y tu imperio,
y me oprime tu presencia
como cadena al forzado,
Como al tahúr la baraja,
como al ebrio una botella,
gusano que al muerto mella,
y maldición que lo ultraja.
Rogué a un veneno mortal,
que de ti me separase;
al tiempo que te matase,
le supliqué a mi puñal.
Los dos en complicidad
altivamente rehusaron:
"Tú no eres digno de que te arranquen
de tu esclavitud maldita,
Pues si muerta la encontraras,
inerte ya, y sin respiro,
con besos resucitarías,
su cadáver de vampiro"
—Las Flores del Mal, Charles Baudelaire.
