Charles Baudelaire
Correspondences
Nature is a temple where living pillars
Let escape sometimes confused words;
Man traverses it through forests of symbols
That observe him with familiar glances.
Like long echoes that intermingle from afar
In a dark and profound unity,
Vast like the night and like the light,
The perfumes, the colors and the sounds respond.
There are perfumes fresh like the skin of infants
Sweet like oboes, green like prairies, That have the expanse of infinite things, Like ambergris, musk, balsam and incense, Which sing the ecstasies of the mind and senses. Correspondances Laissent parfois sortir de confuses paroles Qui l'observent avec des regards familiers. Dans une t n breuse et profonde unit Vaste comme une nuit et comme la clart Les parfums, les couleurs et les sons se r pondent. Il est des parfums frais comme de chairs d'enfants, Doux comme les hautbois, verts comme les prairies, Ayant l'expansion des choses infinies, Comme l'ambre, le musc, le benjoin et l'encens, Qui chantent les transports de l'esprit et des sens.

    Baudelaire, Charles
    Baudelaire, Charles key , French poet and critic. His poetry, classical in form, introduced symbolism (see symbolists ) by establishing symbolic correspondences among sensory images (e.g., colors, sounds, scents).

Charles Baudelaire, On Photography , from The Salon of 1859
Figure 1.72. Nadar. Charles Baudelaire, Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. A mad­ness, an extraordinary fanaticism took possession of all these new sun-worshippers. Baudelaire Charles Baudelaire, father of modern art criticism, was deeply ambivalent about modernity. Some of his concerns about the creative situation for the artist in a mechanically progressive age are displayed in this commentary on photography from the Salon review of 1859, the year most Baudelaire scholars consider his most brilliant and productive. In the twelve years between the 1846 review and this one, the poet’s contempt for the values of the middle-class establishment and the egalitarian “mob” had deepened. After a brief, disillusioning engagement at the barricades in 1848, the 1851 Bonapartist coup d’état , and the coronation of Napoleon III the next year, whatever hope he might have held for the politics of his era vanished. His alienated modernism gained further assurance in early 1852 from his discovery of Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), the American poète maudit whose vision Baudelaire recognized as his own.

Baudelaire, Charles (1821-1867) A central figure in nineteenth-century French literature, Charles Baudelaire was born on April 9, 1821, in Paris, and died on August 31, 1867. Two collections of Baudelaire's poetry continue to intrigue and influence writers: Les fleurs du mal Flowers Of Evil, 1857) and Le spleen de Paris Paris Spleen, 1869). In the latter collection, published posthumously, he essentially invented the "prose poem." Had he written only poetry, Baudelaire's reputation would be secure; however, he is also an important art and literary critic. His defense of painters not recognized by the artistic establishment of his time, especially the Impressionists, helped gain them an audience and respect. Likewise, his translations of Poe's work established Poe in France as a major literary talent. Sponsor Message.

Charles Baudelaire
19th Century French poet, critic and translator.
One of the greatest french poets of the 19th century, Charles Baudelaire (1821-67) was a precursor to french symbolism , and one of the earliest members of the Decadent Movement. His influence spans from the french symbolists , to the english decadents (Swinburne, Wilde), to the American and English Modernists (Yeats, Pound and Eliot ). Baudelaire was also a translator and critic of Edgar Allan Poe
He strove, not to make poetic statements, but to actualize experience in metaphors and symbols. His subjects were those of the bohemian city: streetwalkers, beggars, drunkards, and the wretched poor. From their ill-fortune, squalor and evil, he wanted to extract real beauty.
When he was young, his family, worried about his growing recklessness, sent him on a voyage to Calcutta. But he left the ship, and spent 3 weeks on the Isle of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, taking in the tropical life, and storing up the sensory impressions he would later use in his poetry, especially Invitation to a Voyage
On attaining majority in 1842, he embarked on a life of dandyism and reckless spending. He squandered his inheritance and fell deeply into debt, a situation he did not escape for the remainder of his life.

The poetic masterpiece of the great nineteenth-century writer Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil is one of the most frequently read and studied works in the French language. In this compelling new translation of Baudelaire's most famous collection, Keith Waldrop recasts the poet's original French alexandrines and other poetic arrangements into versets, a form that hovers between poetry and prose. Maintaining Baudelaire's complex view of sound and structure, Waldrop's translation mirrors the intricacy of the original without attempting to replicate its inimitable verse. The result is a powerful new re-imagining, one that is, almost paradoxically, closer to Baudelaire's own poetry than any previous English translation. Including the six poems banned from the first edition, this Flowers of Evil preserves the complexity, eloquence, and dark humor of its author. Brought here to new life, it is hypnotic, frank, and forceful. Source: powells.com

He took part with the revolutionaries in 1848, and for some years interested himself in republican politics, but his permanent convictions were aristocratic and Catholic. Baudelaire was a slow and fastidious worker, and it was not until 1857 that he produced his first and famous volume of poems, Fleurs du mal . Some of these had already appeared in the Revue des deux mondes Victor Hugo (Brussels, 1866). Another edition of the Fleurs du mal , without these poems, but with considerable additions, appeared in 1861.

Charles-Pierre Baudelaire: 1821-1867
Baudelaire, whose ultra-monarchist stepfather General Aupick's day job was suppressing worker strikes and Republican uprisings in Paris, was sold. "Nothing is truly beautiful unless it is useless," insisted the preface to Gautier's erotic novel Mademoiselle de Maupin (1836), so Baudelaire wrote rebellious poems. Sainte-Beuve's Volupte (1834) introduced the idea of idler as hero (and seeking pleasurable new sensations as the highest good), so Baudelaire indulged himself in sex and drugs. (Shortly after contracting syphilis, he made the mixed-race actress and addict Jeanne Duval his mistress.) He also aped the exquisitely anti-bourgeois dandysme perfected by Nerval (who took his flâneur pose so seriously that he was once seen walking a lobster on a leash) by running up enormous lines of credit with tailors, art dealers, and his landlord. His luxurious apartment in the Hôtel Pimodan, the haunt of the Club des Haschishins, was crammed with rare books and exotic fabrics. Baudelaire was confident that his writing career would be as lucrative as Balzac's or Hugo's... besides, he was due to inherit his deceased father's estate when he turned 21. Thanks to the promise of his inheritance, even though his freelance writing didn't pay the bills, Baudelaire possessed that all-important means to philosophically detached meditation and criticism: free time. "It was thanks partly to Leisure that I have developed myself," he confided to his journal, "To my great detriment, however, since Leisure without an income only in-creases debts (and the humiliations that follow). But to my great profit so far as sensibility, meditation, and the inner resources necessary for dandyism [are concerned]." In 1845, just as Baudelaire had begun to pay off his debts, his scandalized parents had his inheritance impounded and turned over to a legal guardian. No longer able to afford his fabulous lifestyle, and unable to satisfy the increasingly shrill demands of his mistress for jewels, clothes, and even sex, Baudelaire began to flee from one sordid rooming house to another, pursued by creditors. Humiliated, he even attempted suicide.
