S. Eliot to Edna St. Vincent Millay, who, with George Dillon, composed an inspired rhymed version of the book published in 1936 and reprinted here, with the French originals, for the first time in many years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMillay and Dillon, while respectful of the spirit of the originals, lay claim to them as to a rightful inheritance, setting Baudelaire's flowing lines to the music of English. The result is one of the most persuasive renditions of the French poet's opulence, his tortured consciousness, and his troubling sensuality, as well as an impressive reimagining of his rhymes and rhythms on a par with Marianne Moore's La Fontaine or Richard Wilbur's Moli鑽e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Baudelaire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681378280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681378282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Charles Baudelaire","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860313075967,"sku":"9781681378282","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_779f11ee-3407-4f55-87da-a485a8d882e0.jpg?v=1709135806","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flowers-of-evil-charles-baudelaire-9781681378282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
