Un Cabaret folâtre sur la route de Bruxelles à Uccle
Vous qui raffolez des squelettes
Et des emblèmes détestés,
Pour épicer les voluptés,
(Fût-ce de simples omelettes!)
Vieux Pharaon, ô Monselet!
Devant cette enseigne imprévue,
J'ai rêvé de vous: À la vue
Du Cimetière, Estaminet!
— Charles Baudelaire
A Gay Chophouse
(On the road from Brussels to Uccle)
You who adore the skeleton
And all such horrible devices
As so many relishes and spices
To tickle the delicate palate on,
You old Pharaoh, Monselet,
Here's a sign I saw that will surely whet
Your appetite for an omelette;
It read: Cemetery View. Estaminet.
— David Paul, Flowrs of Evil (NY: New Directions, 1955)
