“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.

What format should I choose for this "Correspondences" poster?

Beautiful words deserve beautiful paper

These verses are set to be hung: a chosen typeface, measured margins, white space worked around the text. The paper, an uncoated matte 170 gsm, stays slightly fibrous: it reads like the page of a book.

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.
