"Mes baisers sont légers comme ces éphémères Qui caressent le soir les grands lacs transparents, Et ceux de ton amant creuseront leurs ornières Comme des chariots ou des socs déchirants."

My kisses are as light as fairy midges That on calm evenings skim the crystal lake. Those of your man would plough such ruts and ridge As lumbering carts or tearing coulters make. — Charles Baudelaire, «Femmes Damnées (Delphine et Hippolyte)», st. 8, Les Fleurs du mal (1857); Roy Campbell, tr. Poems of Baudelaire (1952)
