The Flowers of Evil / Les Fleurs de Mal

Review:

Brilliant. A dark, disturbing masterpiece.

I wish to hold sway over
Your life and youth by fear,
As others do by tenderness.

Remember, time is a greedy player
Who wins without cheating, every round.

I will re-read these for the rest of my life, they’re simply beautiful. I award this the coveted 5 stars.

This book made me want to: read it again when it’s snowing and dark. Also, oddly, it made me crave a loaded chili-dog.
