Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Here comes the time when, vibrating on its stem, every flower fumes like a censer noises and perfumes circle in the evening air.
Charles Baudelaire
Ne cherchez plus mon coeur les be tes l'ont mange . Don't search any further for my heart wild beasts ate it.
Charles Baudelaire
One must work, if not from inclination, at least out of despair — since it proves, on close examination, that work is less boring than amusing oneself.
Charles Baudelaire
Love is a taste for prostitution. In fact, there is no noble pleasure that cannot be reduced to Prostitution.
Charles Baudelaire
Where ever I am not is the place where I am myself.
Charles Baudelaire
On the vaporization and the centralization of the Self. All is there.
Charles Baudelaire
