Who cares if you come from heaven or hell, O Beauty
!, monster huge, frightening, naive!,
if your eyes, your smile, your feet, I opened the door
an Infinite which I love and I've never known?
of Satan or God, who cares? Angel or siren,
who cares, if you eye make-fairy velvet
pace, perfume, glow, oh my queen-
only less horrible the universe and lighter moments?
the poem: Ode to Beauty
Charles Baudelaire
