Charles Baudelaire - Be Drunken - French Poetry

"Be Drunken" is one of the famous prose poems of the French poet Charles Baudelaire.
Baudelaire implores the reader to find something in life to be utterly consumed with. He uses “drunken” as a symbol for whatever might give one passion and joy for life — thus distracting them from the oppressive nature of time.
--
Be always drunken. Nothing else matters: that is the only question.
If you would not feel the horrible burden of Time
weighing on your shoulders and crushing you to the earth,
be drunken continually.
Drunken with what?
With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you will.
