Flowers of Evil (France) Baudelaire
To please the barbarians,
In order to show the arrogant slave to the devil,
Flattery, we insult.
The people we love, flatter the people we hate,
We mourn the weak who are despised for no reason,
We became slavish executioners,
We have become extremely ignorant.
Pay tribute to the stupidity of tauren,
We are guilty of corruption,
A little blessing.
We kissed a stupefied fool,
And express infinite worship,
Finally, in order to faint.
Immersed in fanaticism, we are actually,
It seems that I am proud of my poetic talent and my grades are getting better and better.
The excitement caused by declining things.
Proud priest,
Drink without thirst, eat without hunger,
Blow out the light quickly, don't hesitate,
Let's hide in the dark.
Second, the significance:
The flower of evil, bright and cold in color, fragrant, beautiful and mysterious, with high and quiet style. It blooms on the edge of hell, saying that someone is a flower of evil means that she is beautiful in appearance, but she is a very dangerous person.
Flowers of Evil is Baudelaire's masterpiece, which also embodies his innovative spirit. Baudelaire's description of ugliness and ugly things is of great aesthetic significance.
He thinks that to write ugliness, we should "discover the beauty in evil" and express the "spiritual turmoil in evil". Baudelaire often uses ugly images when describing people's mental state.
He thinks there is beauty in ugliness. Contrary to the romantic view that nature and human nature are full of harmony and beauty, he advocates that "nature is ugly", natural things are "disgusting", evil is "innate", virtue is man-made and goodness is man-made; Evil exists in people's hearts just as ugliness exists in the center of the world.
The Flower of Evil comes from Baudelaire's long poem The Flower of Evil, which is an absurd poem, a history of soul, a history of blood and tears, and evil is a flower.
Extended data:
Creation background
/kloc-At the end of 0/9th century, the depression and uncertainty in France's spirit, anxiety, loneliness, emptiness and boredom in life, and the sinking of physical desires became a common mental state in the western world. Around the First World War, with the intensification of various contradictions in western capitalist society, various modernist literary schools appeared one after another, reaching a climax in the 1920s.
It is worth mentioning that the 1848 revolution was a turning point in French literature. Critical realism literature has lost its early enthusiasm and spirit, emphasizing the pursuit of more accurate description and purely objective analysis with "scientific spirit". /kloc-in the 1980s of 0/9, in France, the banner of symbolism was officially played, and the team of symbolist writers gradually formed.
As a representative of modernist literature in this transitional period, Baudelaire could not bear the bondage of his family, and left his biological father's legacy of100000 francs to his family to show his contempt for orthodox bourgeois life.
Baudelaire's melancholy is not only congenital, but also acquired. It is the expression of inner depression and restlessness after a social individual loses value and cannot find a way out. It reflects the conflict between man and the times and society. He is melancholy, lonely, arrogant, pessimistic and rebellious. He is a stubborn individualist. So as to create more anxious poems full of guilt.
