Two 20x28 in (50x70 cm) art prints, made to hang side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy pair Harmonie du soir with Stillness No. 3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poem captures the hour when daylight leaves, the sky sad and beautiful, the sun drowned in its own blood. Stillness No. 3 shows the moment after: a lilac sky, then a deep blue that spreads across the sheet and darkens to black. On one side the words of evening, on the other its color. The cream paper of the poem and the lilac of the painting echo each other, which is what holds the pair together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Baudelaire's Harmonie du soir?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarmonie du soir (Evening Harmony) is a poem from Les Fleurs du mal, published in 1857 in the section Spleen et Idéal as number XLIII. Baudelaire borrows the form of the pantoum, from Malay poetry: the second and fourth lines of each stanza return as the first and third of the next, on only two rhymes. Scents, sounds and a violin turn like a waltz until the last line. The print carries the poem in the original French.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the text of the 1857 edition?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print reproduces the poem exactly as it was printed in the first edition, punctuation and dashes included, laid out like a page of the book: the title of the collection at the top, a double rule around the text, Baudelaire's name and the year at the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Stillness No. 3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn abstract work created exclusively by the Heure d'été studio: a lilac sky above a mass of blue with ink-like edges, sinking into midnight blue. It is printed full bleed, so the blue fills the whole sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere should you hang this diptych?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 20-inch-wide prints hung 2 to 3 inches apart span about 42 inches: above a loveseat, a console, a desk or a full-size headboard. Midnight blue and cream go with linen, dark wood and velvet, in a bedroom or a library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs this diptych a good gift?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, for a Baudelaire reader, a French teacher or a poetry lover: for Christmas, a housewarming or a birthday.
