Charles Baudelaire
The Devil pulls the strings which make us dance; We find delight in the most loathsome things; Some furtherance of Hell each new day brings, And yet we feel no horror in that rank advance.
Charles Baudelaire

Émile Zola
A ruined man fell from her hands like a ripe fruit, to lie rotting on the ground.
Émile Zola, Nana
