Tossup

One poem in this collection notes that “the form of a city changes more quickly, alas, than the human heart” before observing the title figure escape a cage. Another poem in this collection asserts (-5[1])“folly, error, sin, (10[1])avarice, occupy our minds and labor our bodies.” Baron Haussmann’s renovations inspired a section of city scenes (10[1])in this collection, such as a poem opening “Andromache, I think of (10[1])you!” This collection includes a poem which likens Ennui (“awn-WEE”) to a “refined monster” before decrying a “hypocritish reader, my fellow, my brother.” This Symbolist poetry collection contains (10[1])sections such as “Revolt” and “Spleen and (10[1])Ideal.” For 10 points, name this (10[1])poetry collection by Charles Baudelaire.
