Baudelaire, one of the cursed poets and father of modern poetry. The Flowers of Evil is one of the most important works of universal literature and modern poetry. One of the poems I like the most from Baudelaire is unquestionably El Albastro. In it the poet is compared to the albatross which flies over the world, accompanying the journey of humanity but from the height, an ideal that is impossible for men to reach. Certain and beautiful that last stanza:
The poet resembles the prince of the clouds
Who frequents the storm and laughs at the archer;
Exiled on the ground in the midst of the scream,
His giant wings prevent him from leaving.
Thank you for always sharing these excellent works on the great writers and movements that have had life in universal literature, @josemalavem.
Grateful for your excellent comment, @nancybriti. "The Albatross" is one of the main poems of that line that Baudelaire had in reflecting on poetic creation and the poet. By the way, in some of the notes on his biography, it is said that he wrote it on that boat trip in which his stepfather embarked him towards India, when he was very young and that he did not finish. Greetings.
