New Year Wishes (Let's Dream...)

Creeds

I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

Walt Whitman “Songs of Myself”, Leaves of Grass

Ce ne seront jamais ces beautés de vignettes,
Produits avariés, nés d'un siècle vaurien,
Ces pieds à brodequins, ces doigts à castagnettes,
Qui sauront satisfaire un coeur comme le mien.

Charles Baudelaire, "L'idéal", Les fleurs du mal

It could ne'er be those beauties of ivory vignettes;
The varied display of a worthless age,
Nor puppet-like figures with castonets,
That ever a heart like mine could engage.

Charles Baudelaire, "The Ideal", The Flowers of Evil
