Check our favorite French Poem. This is about being so intoxicated by something beautiful, that time, trivial things, and our mundane life is forgotten. It’s about finding new ways of getting “ drunk” in our every day lives.
And on the days when we can’t find any metaphorical way of being drunk, a good glass of wine can be good enough 😉
So what do YOU get drunk on?
BE DRUNK- CHARLES BAUDELAIRE
You have to be always drunk. That’s all there is to it—it’s the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk.
But on what? Wine, poetry, or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk.
And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again, drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing, everything that is speaking…ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, the clock will answer you: “It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish.”
