More quotes by Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Dancing can reveal all the mystery that music conceals.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art - that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
