Charles Baudelaire, France, French, Monet, Poet, Poetry, Wednesday, Wikipedia, wisdom

To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art – that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.

Charles Baudelaire

Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances.

Charles Baudelaire

The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.

Charles Baudelaire

Inspiration comes of working every day.

Charles Baudelaire

There are moments of existence when time and space are more profound, and the awareness of existence is immensely heightened.

Charles Baudelaire

To learn more about this French poet, check out his Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Baudelaire I think you’ll find some of his friends to be quite interesting.

Have a great Wednesday, folks!
