Charles Baudelaire
Being a useful man has always seemed to me to be something truly hideous.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
