This man wrote "It is useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me" in his tract On Photography. One poem by this man sees the speaker wonder why the title figure passes up having "many a Valois" in her thrall and hides her hot ginger body under a beggar's rags. This author included "Let us Beat up the Poor!" in a poetry collection inspired by his obsessive reading of Bertrand's Gaspard de la Nuit. "The (*) Mendicant Redhead" appears in a collection by this man that begins "Folly, error, sin, avarice" in the opening section "To the Reader," which extols "he is Ennui!" That most famous collection by this man features the poem "Litanies of Satan" and sections like "Wine," "Revolt," "Death," and "Spleen and Ideal." For 10 points, identify this French poet of Les Fleurs de Mal.
