Charles Baudelaire’s “The Flowers of Evil” — Benediction — Breakdown and Review

This is a breakdown and review of “Benediction” from Baudelaire’s “The Flowers of Evil.”

Benediction

When by the changeless Power of a Supreme Decree
The poet issues forth upon this sorry sphere,
His mother, horrified, and full of blasphemy,
Uplifts her voice to God, who takes compassion on her.
