Charles Baudelaire opens "The Flowers of Evil" with a poem entitled "Benediction," and it's special stuff -- but of course it is, we're talking about a poem by Charles Baudelaire, for god's sake. When by the changeless Power of a Supreme Decree "Ah, why did I not bear a serpent's nest entire,

El afan de Baudelaire por romper con los modes poeticos romanticos le lleva a buscar una "modernidad" que finalmente encuentra en el reflejo de la vida urbana expresada a traves del "poema en prosa." En esta edicion, junto a Pequenos poemas en prosa, aparece Los paraisos artificiales; dos obras aparentemente dispares, pero que despues de una atenta lectura coinciden en ser un largo poemo en prosa con el mismo caracter rapsodico. Si la primera es un reflejo de la vida parisina, "tan fecunda en asuntos poeticos y maravillosos," la segunda es todo un culto al placer como expresion de una vitalidad en la que esta implicito el germen de la destruccion del propio placer: la degeneracion y la podredumbre.
La actitud decadente y dandy de Baudelaire le sirve para establecer distancias, para intentar distinguirse, alconzar en el aspecto mas superficial aquella perfeccion que le caracteriza. En Las flores del mal crea un espacio que inclina al hombre hacia lo mas bajo, un espacio sin horizonte, que aboca al abismo, al pecado, a la hipocresia, sin posibilidad de salir.

In the intoxication of hashish there is nothing like this. We shall not go outside the class of natural dream. The drunkenness, throughout its duration, it is true, will be nothing but an immense dream, thanks to the intensity of its colours and the rapidity of its conceptions. But it will always keep the idiosyncrasy of the individual. The man has desired to dream; the dream will govern the man. But this dream will be truly the son of its father. The idle man has taxed his ingenuity to introduce artificially the supernatural into his life and into his thought; but, after all, and despite the accidental energy of his experiences, he is nothing but the same man magnified, the same number raised to a very high power.
