Really enjoyed poems like The Mask, The Cat, and The Gaming Table. This was my introduction to Baudelaire and now I’m hooked! Love his writing style.

Some of the poems I read I quite liked, others not so much.

The purity movement and flow in this collection of poems is not like anything I’ve read in my 18 years on earth. The musicality, the mood, every little detail has its own cadence and rhythm. You can think the subject matter as dull, but this is true poetry, this is music you can read and comprehend without classical training in music. This is truly what art is, the practical application of music in non-music art.
