    The Favours of the Moon
    THE MOON, who is caprice itself, looked through the window while you were sleeping in your cradle, and said to herself: ‘I like this child.’
    …
    However, in the expansion of her joy, the Moon filled the whole room with phosphorescent vapour, like a luminous poison; and all the living light thought and said: ‘You shall suffer for ever the influence of my kiss. You shall be beautiful in my fashion. You shall love that which I love and that which loves me: water, clouds, silence and the night; the immense green sea; the formless and multiform streams; the place where you shall not be; the lover whom you shall not know; flowers of monstrous shape; perfumes that cause delirium; cats that shudder, swoon and curl up on pianos and groan like women, with a voice that is hoarse and gentle!
    …
    And that, my dear, cursed, spoiled child, is why I am now lying at your feet, seeking in all your person the reflection of the formidable divinity, of the foreknowing godmother, the poisoning wet-nurse of all the lunatics.

    Charles Baudelaire, 1869

    I will get drunk on incense, myrrh, and nard, On genuflexions, meat, and beady wine, Out of his crazed and wondering regard, I’ll laugh to steal prerogatives divine. Benediction [translated by Roy Campbell,1952] from Les Fleurs du Mal illustrated by Carlos Schwabe *  via History of Art
