But the true voyagers are only those who leave Just to be leaving hearts light, like balloons, They never turn aside from their fatality And without knowing why they always say: Let's go!
Charles Baudelaire
Hashish will be, indeed, for the impressions and familiar thoughts of the man, a mirror which magnifies, yet no more than a mirror.
Charles Baudelaire
Blessed art Thou, Lord, who giveth suffering As a divine remedy for our impurities.
Charles Baudelaire
