“The Drunken Boat”, analysis of the poem by Arthur Rimbaud
“The Drunken Boat” of poetry and the sober bottom of life
Did the young man from the French Charleville know that he had created a unique work of world literature, which would later become a symbolist anthem? Probably knew. Indeed, the life of Arthur Rimbaud (1854 – 1891) was unusual and seemed to be devoid of common sense. At an age when many talents just entered literature, he had already left it. Rambo managed to write all his ingenious verses before the age of twenty. Then, after analyzing contemporary poetry, he decided that it was better to travel the world and make a living by trading.

“Sensation”, analysis of the poem by Arthur Rimbaud
In the poem, the image of a vagabond traveler who is eager for merging with nature and the world, characteristic of Rimbaud’s poetry, is created. Nature for the poet is not a symbol and a temple, but a living creature that can only be known through the senses.

“The Flowers of Evil”, analysis of the collection by Charles Baudelaire
The collection “The Flowers of Evil” is the poetic peak of all Charles Baudelaire’s work. He conceived it as a poetic copy of Dante’s Divine Comedy.

It is difficult to call “The Flowers of Evil” an ordinary collection: verses are read in a single work in which the development of a certain thought is clearly traced. This is a real confession of a wandering soul, its pain and suffering in life’s quest.

“A Carcass”, analysis of the poem by Charles Baudelaire
The poem “A Carcass” by Charles Baudelaire is included in one of his most rebellious collections, Flowers of Evil. If we consider the “Flowers of Evil”, based on the biography of the poet himself, it is important to note that he does not consider it necessary to separate pure feelings from those that develop against the background of the social and political life of his contemporaries. In general, in “Flowers of Evil” one can feel the author’s desire to expand the sphere of traditional poetry, singing beauty, nature, love and other eternal values.
