It isn’t for no reason that the figure of the poet is associated with the figures of the flâneur and the flâneuse. For while the latter do not seek, in the milieu of the stroll, or urban wander, artistic inspiration (as the former sometimes does), but instead immerse themselves in it as a mode of enjoyment alone, without any other end or purpose, all come to it with the presentiment that it will reward them in some way, so long as they comport themselves with a particular orientation, or bearing of the soul.
