thanks.   That is a really nifty poem.  Not to mention that it limns a
portrait not dissimilar to Oedipa considered statically...

here's a photo of the statue (presumably) referred to, at least it's
by Ernest Christophe, the person to whom Mr B dedicated the poem:

she is a beaut.  I think Baudelaire missed the point: the beautiful is
the real, tragedy a mask
