as a Siene (and many other rivers in faraway lands) of techies everyone can understand the concept, Baudelaire felt, of being and then creating alone in a crowd
I remember in college when I took French classes the professor very highly recommended Fleurs du mal. It was too difficult to read for students with just one year of French, but I remember reading some translations and liked them.

I'm pleased: I'm nearly through Duolingo French and I can more or less read that.
I've done a fair bit of outside study, including a few (young adult) books. But it's nice to think that I could perhaps pass a college French class.
i’ll confess my 18-year old self viewed this type of poetry and french class itself through a rather narrow, pragmatic lens…
I think the anime based on this is pretty widely known:
