L'invitation au voyage
Mon enfant, ma soeur,
Songe à la douceur
D'aller là-bas vivre emsemble!
Aimer à loisir
Aimer et mourir
Au pays qui te ressemble!
Les soleils mouillés
De ces ciels brouillés
Pour mon esprit ont les charmes
Si mystérieux
De tes traîtres yeux,
Brillant à travers leurs larmes.
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté.
Des meubles luisants,
Polis par les ans,
Décoreraient notre chambre;
Les plus rares fleurs
Mêlant leurs odeurs
Aux vagues senteurs de l'ambre,
Les riches plafonds,
Les miroirs profonds,
La splendeur orientale,
Tout y parlerait
À l'âme en secret
Sa douce langue natale.
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté.
Vois sur ces canaux
Dormir ces vaisseaux
Dont l'humeur est vagabonde;
C'est pour assouvir
Ton moindre désir
Qu'ils viennent du bout du monde.
- Les soleils couchants
Revêtent les champs,
Les canaux, la ville entière,
D'hyacinthe et d'or;
Le monde s'endort
Dans und chaude lumière.
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté.
Charles Baudelaire L'invitation au voyage (1855 veröffentlicht)

It was feburary 2002. I arrived munich in Germany alone and I had nothing to do during the day. I had no friends and no family. It was very cold. The wind was so severe because it came from south over the Alpen. I stayed at hotel all day long, sat and changed the tv channels often. I slept 12 hours at that time. Ond day late in the evening I wanted to go outside and to breathe in fresh air. I just took my old jacket and my purse. I took a walk several hours, after that I had to realize I was in the second hand book shop. I dont know yet why I bought this french-germay anthology of Charles Baudelaire. I had been not so facinated by his poetry (his works was so complicated to understand), even though I had heard his masterpieces and his life. His life was so dramatical and so uncontrolled. His life was so short like Jim Morrison. Since then I read, read and read this book. I read his essays. I had to learn french langauge just in order to understand his poetry. So whenever I read his poetry now, I feel I am corresponding with him, who is staying now in the middle of the Limbo (!).
