From the 'Note detachee" in the book on Belgium: "I am no dupe, and I have
never been a dupe! I say, 'Long live the Revolution!' as I would say, "Long live
Destruction! Long live Expiation! Long live Punishment! Long live Death!'"
Baudelaire, Oeuvres, vol. 2, ed. Y-G. Le Dantec, pp. 727-728.65 [J9a,3]

"I asked myself whether Baudelaire . .. had not sought, through histrionics and
psychic transfer, to revive the adventures of the prince of Denmark . ... There
would have been nothing surprising in his having performed for himself the drama
of Elsinore." Leon Daudet, Flambeaux (Paris ), p. 210 ("Baudelaire").

"The inner life ... of Charles Baudelaire . .. seems to have passed . .. in constant
fluctuation between euphoria and aura. Hence the double character of his poems,
which, on the one hand, represent a luminous beatitude and. on the other, a state
of . .. taedium vitae." Leon Daudet, Flambeaux (Paris), p. 212 ("Baudelaire" ).

"'Baudelaire was out of place in the stupid nineteenth century. He belongs to the
Renaissance . ... This can be felt even in the beginnings of his poems, which recall
those of Ronsard." Leon Daudet, Flambeaux (Paris), p. 216 C'Baudelaire: Le
Malaise et rauram}. [JIO,4]
Leon Daudet voices a very unfavorable judgment on Sainte-Beuve's Baudelaire.

Among those who have pictured the city of Paris, Balzac is, so to speak, the
primitive; his human figures are larger than the streets they move in. Baudelaire
is the first to have conjured up the sea of houses, with its multistory waves.
Perhaps in a context with Haussmann. [.JIO,G]
'''The baudelaire . . . is a kind of cutlass . . . . Broad and short and doubleedged,
... the baudelaire ensures a deadly thrust, for the hand that holds it is
near the point." Victor-Emile Michelet, Figures d'evocateurs (Paris, 1913), p. 18
("'Baudelaire, ou Le Divinateur douloureux"). [JI0,7J
