The Lady with the Dog and Paris Spleen

“The Lady with the Dog” is about two people who find each other and fall in love and they end up trying to be together. Even though they are both married, they still want each other.
The thing that struck me the most about the story was when Dimitri realized that he was living a double life, “one open, seen and known by all who cared to know” and another “running its course in secret.” Dimitri also doesn’t see people the same way anymore, whenever he looks at someone, he wonders what the other side of them are.

Paris Spleen is a collection of poems. Each poem has a place or time that turns into something meaningful and deep.
I think this artwork of Baudelaire best gives me an image of how he would look, after reading his poems.
