BAUDELAIRE 🔎 Les Fleurs du Mal - L'Albatros (Analyse au fil du texte du poème)

With this albatross, Baudelaire reveals his very personal conception of the poet. Find all my linear explanations of Les Fleurs du Mal here: https://www.mediaclasse.fr/lectures/396. Often, for amusement, the crewmen Catch albatrosses, vast seabirds, Who follow, indolent traveling companions, The ship gliding over the bitter abysses. No sooner have they placed them on the planks, When these kings of the azure, clumsy and ashamed, Pitifully leave their great white wings Like oars dragging beside them. This winged traveler, how awkward and spineless he is! He, once so handsome, how comical and ugly he is! One pokes his beak with a pipe cleaner, The other mimes, limping, the cripple who flew! The Poet is like the prince of the clouds Who haunts the storm and laughs at the archer; Exiled on the ground amidst boos, His giant wings prevent him from walking. * * Romain Boussot, passionate about teaching and a French teacher, I now devote myself to my literary videos, on my website: ⭐ https://www.mediaclasse.fr ⭐ My wish: to bring literature to life through videos. 🌹 I carefully create my videos to immerse you in a cultural immersion, to help you better understand the great classics — whether it's to better learn your French lessons, acquire methodological know-how for the baccalaureate or other competitive exams, or simply enrich your general knowledge.
