I sit in the sky like a sphinx misunderstood;.... : Quote by Charles Baudelaire

“ I sit in the sky like a sphinx misunderstood; My heart of snow is wed to the whiteness of swans; I hate the movement that displaces the rigid lines, With lips untaught neither tears nor laughter do I know. ”

Charles Baudelaire
