Nature, Baudelaire says, is ugly—and art is what saves us from it. This wicked, brilliant fragment defends makeup not as deception but as devotion: a ritual rebellion against decay, chance, and animal life. To paint the face is to reject nature’s chaos and choose artifice—freely, proudly, and exquisitely.
