A Hemisphere in Your Hair (French: Un hémisphère dans une chevelure) is a poem by Baudelaire collected in Paris Spleen.
- Long let me inhale, the odour of your hair,
- into it plunge the whole of my face, like a thirsty man
- into the waters of a spring and wave it in my fingers like a scented hankerchief,
- to shake memories into the air.
In the film Withnail & I Richard Griffith's character recites the line "Laisse-moi respirer longtemps, longtemps, l'odeur de tes cheveux" (Eng: Long let me inhale, the odour of your hair).
