At that moment something Heaved out of the land and was there. Empty, horrible, archaic–America. Planetary–before the eye touched it. A land with maybe one idea–snake. (Hughes 1999: p. 84) This did not begin, although it might, with that “fateful, blissful cord ” of which so many wanted a snippet and Manet was awarded the whole. Instead, the thread of Baudelaire’s ‘Rope ’ (1989, pp. 133–137) is frayed like his flâneur, first on the loose, then unloosened and finally undone, worn away by walkers with purpose, ties of their own and an industrial mien, somewhere they mean to, need to, be (Benjamin 1992, p. 169, p. 189). These workers are the proles of the prose poems, their collars one chorus of “Paris Blues ” (Baudelaire 1989); urban aesthetics admit the off-colour as freely as flanage. What’s less obvious to readers of the lost arcade is the idlers ’ influence, their visible impact, upon everyday perceptions of scene and the seen, organisation and order, among those crowds and powers that made life impossible for les fleurs du mall
