Quant � moi qui sens quelquesfois en moi le ridicule d'un proph�te, je sais que je n'y trouverai jamais la charit� d'un m�decin. Perdu dans ce vilain monde, coudoy� par les foules, je suis comme un homme lass� dont l'oeuil ne voit en arri�re, dans les ann�es profondes, que d�sabusement et amertume, et devant lui qu'un orage o� rien de neuf n'est contenu, ni enseignement, ni douleur.

Charles Baudelaire, Fus�es XV - in. "Charles Baudelaire", Walter Benjamin.
