\nWas conceiving monstrous children each day,\u00a0<\/em>
\nI should have liked to live near a young giantess,\u00a0<\/em>
\nLike a voluptuous cat at the feet of a queen.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAnd grow without restraint in her terrible games;\u00a0<\/em>
\nTo divine by the mist swimming within her eyes\u00a0<\/em>
\nIf her heart harbored a smoldering flame;<\/em><\/p>\n
\nTo crawl upon the slopes of her enormous knees,<\/em>
\nAnd sometimes in summer, when the unhealthy sun<\/em><\/p>\n
\nTo sleep nonchalantly in the shade of her breasts,\u00a0<\/em>
\nLike a peaceful hamlet below a mountainside.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>(source)<\/a>translated from Baudelaire by William Aggeler, The Flowers of Evil<\/em> (Fresno, CA: Academy Library Guild, 1954)<\/span><\/p>\n
