Charles Baudelaire, the great French poet of the mid nineteenth century whose powerful writing ushered in a era of symbolism. I am inspired by his famous poem collection LES FLEURS DU MAL.


MUSIC, by: Charles Baudelaire

MUSIC

by: Charles Baudelaire

MUSIC doth uplift me like a sea
Towards my planet pale,
Then through dark fogs or heaven's infinity
I lift my wandering sail.

With breast advanced, drinking the winds that flee,
And through the cordage wail,
I mount the hurrying waves night hides from me
Beneath her sombre veil.

I feel the tremblings of all passions known
To ships before the breeze;
Cradled by gentle winds, or tempest-blown

I pass the abysmal seas
That are, when calm, the mirror level and fair
Of my despair!
