(written by a friend)

how would you know when you can't speak French?

Unlike you I can speak both english and french properly

English and French should be capitalised

So who's the best French poet, according to you? And don't meme up someone who wrote less than 100 pages of verse in his entire life.

Got 'em!

Baudellaire or Rimbaud
Saying that Hugo writes better poetry than either of these poets is just a contrarian and wrong opinion
