pathetic poetic

"Often, To amuse themselves the men of the crew Lay hold of the albatross, vast birds of the seas- {...} This winged traveler, how he is awkward and weak! He, lately so handsome, how comic he is and uncomely! {...} The writer resembles the prince of the clouds Who is friendly to the tempest and laughs at the bowman; Banished to ground in the midst of hootings, His wings, those of a giant, hinder him from walking -Charles Baudelaire"
