On Wine and Hashish by Charles Baudelaire
Initially composed for newspaper publication and inspired by Thomas De Quincey s Confessions of an Opium Eater, Charles Baudelaire s intriguing essays take a remarkably stark look at the use and effects of drink and drugs. Along the way he asserts the ambivalence of memory, urges a union of willpower and sensual pleasure, and claims that wine and hashish bring about an escape from narrative time.Surprisinglyforward and positive in tone, this is a unique investigation from one of the great 19th-century poets.-
