the poem in the BB rare is in French and in English it translates to:
"In brittle grounds calcine without greenery as I complained one day
has nature and than of my pensee while making waves randomly I
sharpened slowly on my heart the dagger I live in full midday to
descend on my tete a nuge funebre and large of a storm yes carried a
herd of demons vicious similar has cruel and curious dwarves."
-C.Baudelaire
Maybe C. Baudelaire is the Baudelaire's father and the poem is called"La Beatrice" so maybe its a love note from the Baudelaires father to Beatrice(their mom). Just a guess.

could be. if you think that Beatrice is the Baude's mom. but even if you don't, that's still a good theory. I can't say much more seeing I don't have TBB RE

That's not how the poem goes, I went on free translations and got this:
The Beatrice
In lands cendreux, charred, without greenery,
As I pityed a day to the nature,
And that of my thought, in vaguant at random,
I sharpened slowly on my heart the poignard,
I live squarely noon descend on my head
A funeral and big cloud of a storm,
Who carried a flock of incorrect demons,
Similar to cruel and curious dwarfs...
-C. Baudelaire
I know cendreux, vaguant, and poignard are still French words, but it wouldn't translate those words for me, even if I typed them in by themselves.

Also, the 2 white-faced women almost certainly went to Prufock Prep., they are also the Doldrums. They also know the purpose of the logs that the Baudelaires had to chop for Count Olaf.

I looked up C. Baudelaire on the internet. A French poet from a long time ago had a first name with the beginning letter of C and his last name was Baudelaire. I think maybe he just put it in there to confuse us.

It is true C. Baudelaire stands for Charles Baudelaire who was a 19th century French poet, translator, and literary and art critic whose reputation rests primarily on Les Fleurs du mal(?) and "La Beatrice" was written on Beatrice of Dante.

Interesting...I suppose LS does research on his books, and finds real people. Like George (Georgina, inhis books) Orwell and, now, C. Baudelaire. But I believe this is the first time he has used an actual name, and not changed it.

cendrux I'm guessing means ashes or has something to do with ashes b/c cendrier is ashtray. vaguant means vague, poignant means sharp or keen... I think these are right. i'll ask my french teacher
