From Baudelaire's
Journaux Intimes [2:ii]:
'Le Dandy doit aspirer à être sublime sans interruption; il doit vivre et dormir devant un miroir.' Did
Christopher Isherwood translate this? He
did: 'the Dandy should aspire to be uninterruptedly sublime. he should live and sleep in front of a mirror.' True today, save for one alteration: for 'mirror' read 'the internet'.
