Lo Spleen di Parigi

For a man to become a poet... he must be in love, or miserable.- Lord Byron, Journal of the Conversations of Lord Byron...the seconds are now strongly, solemnly accentuated, and each one, springing forth out of the clock, says: “I am Life, intolerable, implacable Life!” (45) This book includes two d Leggi tutto

I have this book by my bed. Before I drop my eyes into deep sleep I like to read a page or two of this book. It gives me a certain sense ..... of dreams. Wonderful dreams.

كتابات بودلير سوداوية قاتمة غارقة في الكآبة يكتب الرجل بحسايسة شديدة ومعقدة ومفرطة في الوعي والتراشق اللفظي العنيف التي تسود في معظم نثريات هذا الكتاب, هذا الرجل يشع جنوناً وحساسية من كل شيء, كئيب كحشرة, موجع كحافة سكين , ليس لديه غاية فيما يكتب سوى العبث بمزاج القارئ بنصوص أحياناً هي أقرب للهلوسات, Leggi tutto

Tell me, enigmatical man, whom do you love best, your father, your mother, your sister, or your brother? I have neither father, nor mother, nor sister, nor brother. Your friends? Now you use a word whose meaning I have never known. Your country? I do not know in what latitude it lies. Beauty? I could indeed Leggi tutto

Ο Baudelaire , ως άλλος Bukowski της εποχής του, μας παρασύρει σε σε μία μελωδική ονειροπόληση, όπου αναβλύζουν οι μουσικές της ζωής σε ένα αόριστο μουρμουρητό . Η ποίησή του που παρουσιάζει τόσο λυρικά τη μιζέρια της καθημερινότητας και του προσωπικού δράματος. Κ όπως διαπιστώνει κ ο ίδιος, σαν παγ Leggi tutto

O impacto de Baudelaire na poesia francesa oitocentista é equivalente ao de Victor Hugo na prosa do período análogo. Tal como Hugo, Baudelaire representa um autêntico cometa que veio revolucionar os meios literários e artísticos através dos quais melhor se expressou. Na verdade, a publicação da sua Leggi tutto

Είναι ώρα για να μεθύσετε! Για να μην είστε οι βασανισμένοι σκλάβοι του Χρόνου, μεθάτε αδιάκοπα. Από κρασί, από ποίηση ή απο αρετή, όπως προτιμάτε
