'...poetry is like the arts of painting, cooking, and
cosmetics in its ability to express every sensation
of sweetness or bitterness, beatitude or horror,
by coupling a certain noun with a certain adjective,
in analogy or contrast...' --Baudelaire, Draft of a
Preface

"Black stands for malediction, red for flames,
and white for light. Those who use only three colors
say that blue, green, and yellow washes are merely
intended to please clients and are neither necessary
nor effective against demons." --Jacques Mercier,
Ethiopian Magic Scrolls (1979)

Martin Seymour-Smith's top 20c list would be something
like: Vallejo, Mandelshtam, Pessoa, Riding, Cavafy,
Rilke, Valéry, Hagiwara, Campana, Ady, Goll, & Isaac
Rosenberg, possibly Bacovia & Hart Crane.
