"One should always be drunk. That's all that matters, that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel time's horrible burden that breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without ceasing.
But with what? With wine, with poetry or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk."
Charles Baudelaire
Translated by Michael Hamburger
