On Wine and Hashish
Author(s): Charles Baudelaire
"On Wine and Hashish" asserts the ambivalence of memory, urging a union of willpower and sensual pleasure as Baudelaire claims that wine and hashish bring about an escape of narrative time. This characteristic theme anticipates his famous prose poems, "Le Spleen de Paris", in which drunkenness - as provided by wine, poetry, or virtue - is celebrated in remarkable style.
