Mask : Nadine L.

Rouge Rubis.

De Satan ou de Dieu, qu’importe? Ange ou Sirène,
Qu’importe, si tu rends, - fée aux yeux de velours,
Rythme, parfum, lueur, ô mon unique reine ! -
L’univers moins hideux et les instants moins lourds?
(Charles Baudelaire : « Les Fleurs du Mal  -  Hymne à la Beauté »).


From Satan or God, what matters? Angel or Mermaid,
Whatever, if you make - Velvet Eyes Fairy,
Rhythm, perfume, glow, oh my only queen! -
The universe less hideous and the moments lighter ?
(Charles Baudelaire: “The Flowers of Evil - Hymn to Beauty”).

It’s my own, poor translation…maybe David can find a better one ? :)

Oh-oh...on the spot, and my only copy of Fleurs du Mal is a Livre de Poche edition in french!!
however, in the 1961 Penguin volume of Baudelaire, with yellowed pages and with cover not properly attached, Francis Scarfe offers the following prose translation:

What does it matter if you come from Satan or from God
angel or siren, velvet-eyed fairy
all rhythm, perfume, and light, so long as you make
the world less hideous, and lighten the leaden hours

Scarfe seem to have missed the reference to the unique queen, but there you have it....admire your excellent capture here too..
