Throughout the history absinthe has been the favorite drink of many outstanding and often eccentric people: writers, artists, musicians, actors, revolutionaries etc. However, it seems that those, who devoted their lives to literature, were most inspired by the ‘Green Muse’. Among the latter one could name:

Aleister Crowley.
Crowley is famous for writing “The book of law”. He was known to be a loyal lover of the ‘Green Fairy’, as well as a heroin and opium addict.

Arthur Rimbaud.
Being considered one of the greatest French poets, Rimbaud was also famous for drinking a great amount of absinthe and maintaining a homosexual relationship with Paul Marie Verlaine.

Charles Baudelaire.
He referred to the ‘Green Fairy’ in his well-known poem “Get drunk” and was believed to be an avaricious absinthe drinker.
