Charles Baudelaire
Pat Andrea (illustrations)
«Come, lie upon my breast, cruel, insensitive soul,
Adored tigress, monster with the indolent air;
I want to plunge trembling fingers for a long time
In the thickness of your heavy mane,
To bury my head, full of pain
In your skirts redolent of your perfume,
To inhale, as from a withered flower,
The moldy sweetness of my defunct love.»
Adored tigress, monster with the indolent air;
I want to plunge trembling fingers for a long time
In the thickness of your heavy mane,
To bury my head, full of pain
In your skirts redolent of your perfume,
To inhale, as from a withered flower,
The moldy sweetness of my defunct love.»
Banned in France for offences against morality and good manners, the poems in this book had to wait ninety-two years before their public release.
Pat Andrea, a key figure in contemporary art, has been able to create one of the most astounding interpretations ever made of Baudelaire’ universe.
