“Nature is a temple where living pillars sometimes let out confused words.”
Context of the Work
Published in Les Fleurs du Mal in 1857, this sonnet is considered the manifesto of French symbolism. Baudelaire theorizes in it the correspondence between the senses – perfumes, colors, and sounds respond to each other – announcing all the symbolist poetry that would follow, from Verlaine to Mallarmé.
Why is Baudelaire's "Correspondences" a foundational poem?
This sonnet theorizes the idea that sensations (perfumes, colors, sounds) correspond with each other and refer to a hidden symbolic order of nature. It is considered the foundational text of French symbolism.

Beautiful words deserve beautiful paper
These verses are set to be hung: a chosen typeface, measured margins, white space worked around the text. It is this layout that makes you want to read them again.
The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. You read it the way you read a book.
It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.
Hanging a poem is not the same as reading it once. The text stays there, you catch two lines in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
There is a quiet pleasure in living with French literature in the original. The poem keeps the language it was written in, and with it the sound the writer chose, which no translation quite carries over. On an English-speaking wall it stops being decoration and becomes something with a little cachet: a piece of France you can read on your way past, every morning.
It earns the large format. At 50x70 cm the text is read from across the room, and the page holds a wall the way a painting does.
