  • Art and the Absinthe Drinker

    Posted on Wednesday October 28th, 2009 at 23:11 in art, literature, absinthe, 19th century

    There is something about the supposedly mystical qualities of the mind-altering substances of yore, particularly absinthe, that’s intriguing. Intriguing, that is, in the slightly forbidden way that allows you to imagine it, wonder about it, romanti...
