Bugün öğrendim ki: Fransa'nın en etkili şairlerinden Charles Baudelaire'in ironik bir şekilde hayatının son yılını felç nedeniyle afazi ile geçirdiğine göre, kendini hala ifade edebildiği tek kelime "kutsal bok!" anlamına gelen "crénom!" idi.
Charles Baudelaire, the 19th-century French poet, coined the word “modernity.” But he went from word creator to aphasia after a massive stroke in 1866, which left him paralyzed and unable to speak during the final year of his life. We've been profiling well-known people with aphasia, including [Ralph Waldo Emerson](http://www.aphasia.org/stories/ralph-waldo-emerson-aphasia/) and [Gabby Giffords](http://www.aphasia.org/stories/ralph-waldo-emerson-aphasia/) www.aphasia.org/stories/aphasia-gabby-giffords/). Aphasia can affect anyone; even poetic writers and deep thinkers.
