As #Sallustius the Neoplatonist wrote, the world itself is a myth. So no matter what we are doing, we are in the midst of a fable. And fables are by definition what enchant us. The only question is whether we perceive it or not.

‘The wood fell on the ground and announced winter. Baudelaire stayed awake… The sun already knows that soon it will be imprisoned “in its polar inferno.” It is as if auscultation labored breathing: “Trembling, I listen to every log that fallls.” (p. 286)

“il Bello non è che la promessa della felicità.
…L’impertinenza attribuita a Stendahl è quella che Baudelaire sta per mostrare introducendo nella trattazione del Bello un elemento che fino a quel momento le era rimasto estraneo: la felicità.’ (p. 41)
