more opium than hashish, afaik. if you like Baudelaire, check out Rimbaud and Mallarme as well. really good stuff.

hi. i think u are confusing baudelaire with thomas de quincey, author of "diary of an opium eater" which was translated into french by baudelaire. There are many editions of "The artificial paradise" that is printed along with thomas de quincey`s "diary". Baudelaire in his books describes his use of haschish, not opium.
peace. |

Partway through Michael Talbot's "The Holographic Universe", and I think it is a must read. About how our minds construct the "real", as well as the surreal. Dreams, drug trips, past lives, multiple personalities it's alll there.  |

nah.. i don't think I'm confusing anything.
I did my senior thesis in college on European symbolist and modernist poetry. spent like 2 years researching all that stuff.   
Baudelaire did write a book 'Poem of Hashish' or something like that, and it's good. But like most other poets of that time, he did everything. Opium or maybe laudanum, which is opium dissolved in hard liquor. Absinthe. Probably cocaine. And, I am sure, hashish, to take the edge off.

try reading Le Fleur de Mal first.. for a first-hand impression. if that's not enough, here's a link to a biographical and critical work on Baudelaire's use of opiates: http://www.peterowen.com/pages/nonfic/baudelaire.htm
Personally, I prefer Rimbaud to Baudelaire, but really it's silly to say that the work of any of these brilliant poets is the result of just one drug or even a combination of drugs - drugs were simply tools they used to achieve visionary state of mind.
Here's a quote from Rimbaud's letter..
>>>>>
The first study for a man who wants to be a poet is the knowledge of his entire self. He searches his soul, he inspects it, he tests it, he learns it. As soon as he knows it, he cultivates it…But the soul has to be made monstrous. Imagine a man planting and cultivating warts on his face.
One must, I say, be a visionary; make oneself a visionary.
The poet makes himself a visionary through a long, a prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses. Every form of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he consumes all the poisons in him, keeping only their quintessences...He arrives at the unknown: and even if, half crazed at the end, he loses the understanding of his visions, he has seen them! Let him be destroyed in his leap by those unnamable, unutterable, and innumerable things: there will come other horrible workers: they will begin at the horizons where he has succumbed.
>>>>
