While Baudelaire’s contemporary Victor Hugo is generally—and sometimes regretfully—acknowledged as the greatest of 19th-century French poets, Baudelaire excels in his unprecedented expression of a complex sensibility and of modern themes within structures of classical rigor and technical artistry. His translations of Poe culminated in Histoires extraordinaires (1856; Tales of Mystery and Imagination), which included “Edgar Allan Poe, sa vie et ses ouvrages” as a preface; Nouvelles Histoires extraordinaires (1856; New Tales of Mystery and Imagination); Aventures d’Arthur Gordon Pym (1858; originally published as The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, 1838); Eureka (1863; originally published 1848); and Histoires grotesques et sérieuses (1865; originally published as Tales of Grotesque and Arabesque, 1840).

My chin cupped in both hands, high up in my garret I shall see the workshops where they chatter and sing, The chimneys, the belfries, those masts of the city, And the skies that make one dream of eternity. “Le Mauvais Moine” (The Bad Monk), in the section “Spleen et Idéal,” describes the poet as a “mauvais cénobite” (a bad monk) who is trapped in the “odious” grave of his soul. Most dramatically, he physically participated in the revolutions of February and June, actually fighting on a barricade and, according to some contemporaries’ accounts, apparently shouting, “Il faut aller fusiller le général Aupick” (We must go shoot General Aupick). The first poem published under Baudelaire’s own name appeared in L’Artiste on May 25, 1845; Baudelaire probably wrote the sonnet “A Une Dame Créole” (To a Creole Lady), which celebrates the “pale” and “hot” coloring of the lovely Mme Autard de Bragard, on his trip to the Indian Ocean. In Les Fleurs du mal Beauty is a compelling but often terrible phenomenon described in terms of hard, lifeless matter. A series of repetitions compounds the initial sense of urgency. He propounds that beauty must contain the absolute and the particular, the eternal and the transitory, and in a section of Salon de 1846 titled “De l’Héroïsme de la Vie Moderne,” (The Heroism of Modern Life) he elaborates that the “particulier” can be found in contemporary and ordinary urban life: “Le spectacle de la vie élégante et des milliers d’existences flottantes qui circulent dans les souterrains d’une grande ville,—criminels et filles entretenues,—la Gazette des Tribuneaux et le Moniteur nous prouvent que nous n’avons qu’à ouvrir les yeux pour connaître notre héroïsme” (The spectacle of elegant life and of the thousands of existences which float in the underground of a big city—criminals and kept women—the Gazette des Tribuneaux and the Moniteur prove that we have only to open our eyes in order to recognize our heroism).

Panthéisme. The young Aupick made his way successfully in the military: with no real family advantages, he was a general by the end of his life, and he had served as the head of the École Polytechnique (Polytechnic School) in Paris, as ambassador to Constantinople as well as to Spain, and as a senator. I would, to compose my eclogues chastely, Lie down close to the sky like an astrologer, And, near the church towers, listen while I dream To their solemn anthems borne to me by the wind. As Baudelaire defines it in Salon de 1846, art represents an ideal for Baudelaire: “L’art est un bien infiniment précieux, un breuvage rafraîchissant et réchauffant, qui rétablit l’estomac et l’esprit dans l’équilibre naturel de l’idéal” (Art is an infinitely precious thing, a warming and refreshing drink which reestablishes stomach and spirit in the natural equilibrium of the ideal).
