Madrigal Triste

Despite Baudelaire's remark about intelligent women, I have totally fallen for him. He just writes so beautifully, it is almost impossible to imagine a man being able to write like that. I think this is about the most beautiful passage ever written:

Que m'importe que tu sois sage?
Sois belle! Et sois triste! Les pleurs
Ajoutent un charme au visage,
Comme le fleuve au paysage;
L'orage rajeunit les fleurs.

I would cry even if Groucho Marx was reading it to me.
