Translation, Adaptation
Charles Baudelaire was inspired by Suspiria de Profundis and the Confessions to write his essay Les paradis artificiels about hashish and opium and their effect on a poet's work. The second part of this essay entitled "Un mangeur d'Opium" is a translation to French of De Quincey's Confessions, with Baudelaire occasionally adding his own impressions.(1860).
Dario Argento used De Quincey's Suspiria, Particularly Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow, as an inspiration for his "Three Mothers" trilogy of films, which include Suspiria, Inferno, and The Mother of Tears.
It was adapted into Luigi Cozzi's 1989 movie "Demons 6: il gatto nero, most commonly known a "The Black Cat".
Fritz Leiber's novel Our Lady of Darkness, published in 1977, the same year as Argento's Suspiria, quotes from Levana in the introduction, and references the third lady in the course of the novel.

Famous quotes containing the word adaptation:
“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)
