Baudelaire, similar in this to certain artists like Verlaine, Kandinsky, Scriabin, has a memory dominated the mixing of senses. This natural synaesthesia to the author, and is usually accompanied by an almost total memory, appears especially in Correspondences' The scents, colors and sounds mingle, In a dark and profound unity '...' There are perfumes as cool as the flesh of children, such as green meadow, sweet as oboes'. This helps to explain the strange vibrations that intertwine over the poems, sparking an astonished curiosity in a word, a poetic sentiment. The rocking of the felt extends beyond the immediacy since both his verses resonate well after reading, but the sensations are returning to the past as in Past-Life. One way to tell that the universe is not limited to our perceptions, but can amplify those of others.
We look preferably an edition that incorporates the poems convicted at trial of 1857, namely: Jewellery, Lethe, In one that is too gay, Lesbos, damned women and Metamorphoses of the Vampire. Given the various adventures of successive editions and supplements such as Wrecks, knowing that Baudelaire will add more than thirty two poems at original issue, we will choose preferences of the complete works.
