Any poetic translation is typically a compromise.
In translating these works of Baudelaire, I have tried to preserve as much as possible the mood and the language of the originals, at the expense of rhyme and usually metre as well. The intention is not to try to reproduce the poem in English, but rather to provide an interpretation of it for readers who are not familiar with French. They should probably be considered as glosses, rather than true translations. These are thus far from being authoritative translations. You may prefer some of the other translations available on the Internet.
