“I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.”
Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867) French poet
Variant: I can barely conceive a type of beauty in which there is no melancholy.
“I can scarcely conceive (would my brain be a spellbound mirror?) a type of beauty without unhappiness. Supported by — others would say, obsessed by — these notions, one may conceive it would be difficult for me not to conclude that the most perfect type of masculine beauty is Satan, — as rendered by Milton.”
Je ne conçois guère (mon cerveau serait-il un miroir ensorcelé?) un type de Beauté où il n'y ait du Malheur. Appuyé sur — d'autres diraient: obsédé par — ces idées, on conçoit qu'il me serait difficile de en pas conclure que le plus parfait type de Beauté virile est Satan, — à la manière de Milton. <br class="br"> XVI http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Fus%C3%A9es#XVI <br class="br">Journaux intimes (1864–1867; published 1887), Fusées (1867)
