This is considered one of the most magnificent works of the author, being an example of French symbolism and decadence. The text is a reflection of a time when it was imperative for the author to scandalize the bourgeoisie of the second empire. Through a masterful use of words, the work served Baudelaire as an escape from the so-called 'spleen' (a feeling of anguished boredom that the poet feels when he is rejected by a hypocritical and decadent society). According to the writer, the best way to avoid this regret is through art, poetry, excesses and love, which is not far from suffering.
