Crowds

[mlerules]

Had I read aloud sometime over this past weekend at FaerieWorlds, my selection would have included this pertinent excerpt from Baudelaire's Crowds:

Crowds (1869 - Charles Baudelaire)

It is not given to every man to take a bath of multitude; enjoying a crowd is an art; and only he can relish a debauch of vitality at the expense of the human species, on whom, in his cradle, a fairy has bestowed the love of masks and masquerading, the hate of home, and the passion for roaming.

Glad to be home now. Happy to have a whole week here at home at the Hive.
