I appreciate your always attentive reading of my posts, @nancybriti. It is hard to understand from our epochal and cultural situation the censorship and denial to which Baudelaire's poetry was subjected in his time by certain persons, who, in addition to a fine, forced him to eliminate some poems (which were published in later editions of The Flowers of Evil). Already a poem like A Carrion is a boldness for the time. Baudelaire's positions are not at all timorous, as when we read what he says to those who judge him (now I don't have the time to quote). His very life was considered "immoral" (his consumption of hashish and opium, his public relationship with prostitutes, etc.). Baudelaire was for many of his time a sort of contemporary incarnation of Satan, even though he was a man of a profound human condition. Greetings.
