Feeling very Spleen II tonight.Richard Howard‘s translation of Charles Baudelaire. (Chuck‘s Greatest Hits! )
#OnThisDay in 1857 Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal was published in France. The volume included almost all of Baudelaire's poetry, and ignited controversy due to its themes of decadence and eroticism. Six of the poems were censored, and were not allowed to be published again until 1949, and Baudelaire was fined 300 francs. Victor Hugo described the work as a "new thrill in literature." #HistoryGetsLIT
