This is a nineteenth century French poet. His book Les fleurs du mal was very influential on surrealism. One of Baudelaire's poems from Les fleurs du mal, "Voyage," appears in Section 5 of Mad Love. Breton cites the following lines from the poem: "None of the famous landscapes that we saw / equaled the mysterious allure / of those that chance arranges in the clouds / And our desire would let us have no peace!" (pg. 88-89.) Breton argues that the last line in the stanza disrupts the previous three "so oddly, charging them with meaning" (pg. 88.)
