It sounds amazing, beautiful and evocative. One doesn't need to fully get all the references to appreciate it.

Whoever made that image not only didn't choose the famed pen name used by the writer (Gérard de Nerval), but also misspelled his real name (it's Labrunie actually). What a dumbass.

ARTÉMIS
La Treizième revient… C’est encor la première;
Et c’est toujours la Seule, – ou c’est le seul moment:
Car es-tu Reine, ô Toi! la première ou dernière?
Es-tu Roi, toi le Seul ou le dernier amant?…
Aimez qui vous aima du berceau dans la bière;
Celle que j’aimai seul m’aime encor tendrement:
C’est la Mort – ou la Morte… Ô délice! ô tourment!
La rose qu’elle tient, c’est la Rose trémière.
Sainte napolitaine aux mains pleines de feux,
Rose au coeur violet, fleur de sainte Gudule:
As-tu trouvé ta Croix dans le désert des cieux?
Roses blanches, tombez! vous insultez nos Dieux!
Tombez, fantômes blancs, de votre ciel qui brûle:
– La Sainte de l’Abîme est plus sainte à mes yeux!

To my modern ear it just sounds so over the top and melodramatic, like some horny teen ranting fast as they can to get laid.

Bro, I have no idea who or what any of those proper nouns are outside of the greek ones I get from pop culture osmosis, but I still understand this just fine. Are you actually retarded?

Elite education used to be humanities-centric, so all the readers would be expected to get it.

>no one to explain the allusions in the poem has appeared yet
/lit/ is truly dead
