by Charles Baudelaire (1821 - 1867)
Un Air Charmant
Language: French (Français)
Les airs charmants et qui font la beauté sont: L’air blasé, L’air ennuyé L’air évaporé, L’air frigide, L’air de regarder en dedans, L’air souffrant, L’air impudent, L’air de volonté, L’air de domination, L’air méchant, L’air chat, enfantillage, nonchalance et malice mêlés. Minette, minoutte, minouille, mon chat, mon loup, grand serpent, mon petit singe, grand singe. De pareils caprices de langue, témoignent d’un côté satanique dans l’amour; les satans n’ont-ils pas des formes de bêtes ?
