Poems by Charles Baudelaire
Une Charogne (The Carcass)
... One would have said the body, swollen with a vague breath, ...
De Profundis Clamavi (Out Of The Depths I Have Cried)
... Nor streams, nor flowers, nor fruits, nor birds, nor forests here! ...
A Une Madone (To A Madonna)
... À une Madone I'll build for thee, Madonna, mistress mine, ...
La Pipe (The Pipe)
... To see me And my outlandish shape to heed, ...
Le Guignon (Ill-Starred)
... Ill-Starred To bear a weight that cannot be borne, ...
Lament Of An Icarus
... And, scorched by desire for the beautiful, ...
The Seven Old Men
... À Victor Hugo Ant-like city, city full of dreams, ...
La Serpent Qui Danse (The Dancing Serpent)
... How I love to watch, dear indolent creature, ...
Parisian Dream
... All for the eye, none for the ear!) ...
The Void
... Pascal had his Void that went with him day and night ...
Remords Posthume (Posthumous Remorse)
... Through those long nights from which all sleep is banned, will say: ...
Incompatibility
... come faint drawn-out sounds, more dead than the bell, ...
Far Away from Here
... with sobs to soothe the spoiled childs fear ...
Le Mort Joyeux (The Joyful Corpse)
... Joyful Corpse In a rich fertile loam where snails recess, ...
Horreur sympathique (Sympathetic Horror)
... Skies, torn like seacoasts by the storm! ...
