"Screwing is the lyricism of the masses" is a dictum by Charles Baudelaire.
- Plus l'homme cultive les arts, moins il b..de.
- Il se fait un divorce de plus en plus sensible entre l'esprit et la brute.
- La brute seule b..de bien, et la fouterie est le lyrisme du peuple.
- F....., c'est aspirer à entrer dans un autre, et l'artiste ne sort jamais de lui-même.[1]
--Journaux intimes de Baudelaire

- "Only the brute gets really good erections. Fucking is the lyricism of the people" --Richard Howard in the translation of Histoire extraordinaire: essai sur un rêve de Baudelaire (1961) by Michel Butor.
- The more a man cultivates the arts, the less randy he becomes... Only the brute is good at coupling, and copulation is the lyricism of the masses. To copulate is to enter into another -- and the artist never emerges from himself". (tr. Richardson, Joanna (1994). Baudelaire. New York: St. Martin's Press.)
