Welcome to Fin de Siècle: Black Spring Books Holiday Salon!

Join us at Black Spring Books for an evening of literary debauchery and reckless cheer. Immerse yourself in a cozy atmosphere filled with book piles, jazz, and questionable company.

Our holiday salon is the only place to discover unique gifts for the literary snobs in your life, and will feature our first ever silent auction of special art prints, first edition books, literary paraphernalia, and more.

Come bid on cool stuff to make sure we continue to keep our doors open at random times.

And browse our curated selection of books while enjoying seasonal treats and drinks. Don’t miss out on this special and final end of the year event!

GET DRUNK

Charles Baudelaire

Always be drunk.
That’s it!
The great imperative!
In order not to feel
Time’s horrid fardel
bruise your shoulders,
grinding you into the earth,
Get drunk and stay that way.
On what?
On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever.
But get drunk.
And if you sometimes happen to wake up
on the porches of a palace,
in the green grass of a ditch,
in the dismal loneliness of your own room,
your drunkenness gone or disappearing,
ask the wind,
the wave,
the star,
the bird,
the clock,
ask everything that flees,
everything that groans
or rolls
or sings,
everything that speaks,
ask what time it is;
and the wind,
the wave,
the star,
the bird,
the clock
will answer you:
“Time to get drunk!
Don’t be martyred slaves of Time,
Get drunk!
Stay drunk!
On wine, virtue, poetry, whatever!”
