Saying that code sample is bad is like saying Baudelaire is bad because only people fluent in French can read it.

Edgar Alan Poe's tales translated by Baudelaire are said to be one of such cases.

There's also this poem of Baudelaire about female homosexuality, which I like, Damned women, also called Delphine and Hippolyta.

Writers like Baudelaire and Benjamin described at great lengths the pleasures of flânerie.

You can almost feel the tears tearing Baudelaire apart.

Do you think Baudelaire cared about engagement?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately through the lens of late-19th- and early-20th century European philosophy and literary theory, when guys like Gautier and Baudelaire and Mallarmé and Benjamin and Kraus were livid about the rise of the newspaper and, later, the feuilleton (early serialized novels).

Baudelaire for instance; I think you could feel Baudelaire's style because it is a lot "warmer" than Poe's.

Similarly, Baudelaire described photography as the “refuge of failed painters with too little talent”.

Charles Baudelaire, in his poem "Enivrez-vous", spoke about the soul-crushing experience of doing nothing, and that "being drunk on something, anything" was a requirement to living a good life (job, drugs, whatever): it is required to fight the terrible passage of time that burdens us.

Just as there is great beauty in the text of Baudelaire, there is incredible emotive power in koyaanisqatsi.

But yes, this is still Baudelaire's poem, I would have recognized it (I know well the French version).

Also, did you know Baudelaire's translation of Poe's work brought it french recognition?
