He recons\u00adtruc\u00adted the baroque city he requi\u00adred in <em>Le Spleen de Paris<\/em>, a city whose equi\u00advo\u00adci\u00adty could enfold both plea\u00adsure and doubt. In Baudelaire\u2019s cos\u00admos, bizarre beau\u00adty was neces\u00adsa\u00adri\u00adly stria\u00adted with iro\u00adny, anger, and refusal.<\/p>\n<p>The old plea\u00adsure had been lost, and the new had not yet been made. Jeanne\u2019s body was not her body&nbsp;; it was the field of an aes\u00adthe\u00adtic pro\u00adcla\u00adma\u00adtion and its with\u00addra\u00adwal. Her body was the ground for the refrac\u00adted self-iden\u00adti\u00adty of these bohe\u00admian cadets. Carmine-bronze-vio\u00adlet-tin\u00adted-blue-black, they des\u00adcri\u00adbed her to one ano\u00adther&nbsp;; they reco\u00adgni\u00adzed each other by means of the screen of her skin. She lived, as I said, on the second floor, facing the court, with her blonde maid Louise. They had no cook and no kit\u00adchen, so the two women would go to eat toge\u00adther in res\u00adtau\u00adrants. Their home was open to any who wished to pay a visit, and from these guests she asked for nothing, since the hou\u00adse\u00adhold was enti\u00adre\u00adly pro\u00advi\u00added for by her lover, Baudelaire. Furthermore she was free, said Nadar, to accept any inti\u00admate atten\u00adtions, since at that time their you\u00adth\u00adful circle regar\u00added mono\u00adga\u00admy as a sort of crime. In the after\u00adnoon, bet\u00adween the hours of two and four only, her door was clo\u00adsed&nbsp;; this was when Monsieur would visit her, and also eve\u00adry&nbsp;night.<\/p>\n<p>Banville had first met Baudelaire strol\u00adling in the Luxembourg Gardens, by means of their com\u00admon friend, the jour\u00adna\u00adlist Privat d\u2019Anglemont. \u2018Tiens,\u2019 Privat d\u2019Anglemont said to his com\u00adpa\u00adnion, at the sight of the approach of the young poet through the foliage, \u2018c\u2019est Baudelaire\u2019: Baudelaire, with his lit\u00adtle poin\u00adty beard, nip\u00adped-in black vel\u00advet smock, and sil\u00adver-hea\u00added wal\u00adking stick, who see\u00admed to have step\u00adped from a van Dyck. And then the three men spent the entire night wal\u00adking toge\u00adther in the&nbsp;city.<\/p>\n<p>In the mor\u00adning we had more whis\u00adky, and cho\u00adco\u00adlate. I was puf\u00adfy and slick and my lips were kis\u00adsed raw, and I went to vomit behind the plas\u00adtic cur\u00adtain. Magnificent. There was no need for modes\u00adty. This is what beau\u00adty was for in some songs. Some say they only flir\u00adted, but my song was not that one. Later he asked if I would care to be pros\u00adti\u00adtu\u00adted. No, I&nbsp;said.<\/p>\n<p>If he could pimp, I could&nbsp;write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baudelaire, so bit\u00adter\u00adly wra\u00adcked with ambi\u00adva\u00adlence, with rejec\u00adtion and debt, ana\u00adchro\u00adnis\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly repu\u00addia\u00adted the ideo\u00adlo\u00adgy of capi\u00adtal.
