‘Beauty is always bizarre. I do not mean to say that it is deliberately, coldly bizarre, for in that case it would be a monster that has escaped from the confines of existence. I mean that it always contains a certain amount of strangeness, naïve strangeness, unforced and even unconscious, and that it is this strangeness that stamps it as Beautiful.’From Curiosités esthétiques, a collection of art criticism texts by the French poet Charles Baudelaire, published posthumously in 1868. English translation by Pascal Pia (1961).Cumulonimbus incus spotted over Carcassonne, Occitania, France by Jon Holland (Cloud Appreciation Society Member 9,999).
