Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recaptured at will.

Charles Baudelaire

Childhood, Inspire, Genius

What I have always found most beautiful in the theatre, in my childhood, and still today, is lustre--a beautiful object, luminous, crystalline, complex, circular, symmetrical. However, I do not absolutely deny the value of dramatic literature. Only, I should like the actors to be mounted on high pattens, to wear masks more expressive than the human face, and to speak through megaphones.

Charles Baudelaire

Beautiful, Childhood, Theatre
