BAUDELAIRE Charles (1821 - 1867)
L.A.S. "C. B.", [Dec. 17, 1859, to Alphonse de CALONNE]| 1 1/2 pages in-8, address (slight cracks in fold).
To the director of the Revue Contemporaine, about Paradis Artificiels.
"Your man troubled me and I did not think to ask him if what he was asking for was the new copy (which you will have this evening), or the rest of the recopied manuscript, which was sent by me to Mr. Magnadas yesterday morning", in order to go as fast as possible. He will bring the book "to make you understand the decision I have adopted. 1st par tie (Conception) involving memories of youth, opium pleasures (you have them), opium tortures (you have them in part) and cures, or at least what it gives us as cures. - 2nd part (Suspiria) Childhood memories, explanations related to the childish sensibility. Visions of Oxford, that is, opium at the university. You understand that childhood and youth are seen through the spiritual glasses of an old man addicted to opium... Allow me to tell you without sentences that your titles are worse than mine| besides the fact that you don't do anything else than repeat the summary in a very summary way, I find them full of banality, while mine jump to the eyes in a violent way. Panacea and Nepenthe are words taken from the original manuscript, it was an advantage"... He adds that the part sent to the printer Dubuisson is "completely retouched!"
Correspondence (Pléiade), t. I, p. 640.
