Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive Who is charles baudelaire? ntPosted by Bartholomew on December 29, 2000 at 18:29:02: In Reply to: charles baudelaire the albatross posted by dean on December 29, 2000 at 17:28:36: : often,to pass the time on board,the crew will catch an albatross,one of those big birds which nonchalantly chaperone a ship across the bitter fathoms of the sea.tied to the deck,this sovereign of space,as if emberrassed by its clumsiness,pitiably lets its great white wings drag at its sides like a pair of unshipped oars.how weak and akward,even comical-this traveller but lately so adroit-one deckhand sticks a pipestem in his beak,another mocks the cripple that once flew!the poet is like this monarch of the clouds riding the storm above the marksmens range;exiled on the ground,hooted and jeered,he cannot walk because of his great wings.
