Les Fleurs du mal

Discussions are held in English on the following date:
Monday 14^th December

La sottise, l’erreur, le péché, la lésine,

Occupent nos esprits et travaillent nos corps,

Et nous alimentons nos aimables remords,

Comme les mendiants nourrissent leur vermine.

Nos péchés sont tétus, nos repentirs sont lâches;

Nous nous faisons payer cher nos aveux,

Et nous rentrons gaiement dans le chemin meuble,

Croyant par de vils pleurs laver toutes nos taches.
