Charles Baudelaire

Does anyone here like Charles Baudelaire? He introduced Edgar Allan Poe to France (thereby revolutionizing French literature and advancing the Symbolist movement) and invented the term "modernity."

If you wish, come experience his poetic decadence:

Oh definitely! LOVE Les Fleurs du Mal. Do you speak French, because I think the original (if you can read it) is way better than any translation. Having said that, there might be some really good ones out there that I haven't found.

What other literature do you like? I think you cna tell my tastes from my username.

Je te hais, Océan! tes bonds et tes tumultes,
Mon esprit les retrouve en lui; ce rire amer
De l'homme vaincu, plein de sanglots et d'insultes,
Je l'entends dans le rire énorme de la mer

No, I don't speak French, but I sure wish I did because Baudelaire in English is astounding. I can't imagine how beautiful his work must be to experience in his native language. Especially French. I love hearing his poems recited in French. It chills my spine with delight.
