一艾伦·泰特指出:艺术和诗最幸运的时代是一个伟大的文化处于衰亡的边缘时代。一个时代既造就诗人,又毁灭诗人,这一点我深信不疑。但丁的文艺复兴时代曾忠诚地为但丁服务,而波德莱尔所经历的法兰西时代则伤害、毁灭了他。无论如何,作为一个诗人,他得被迫对他的世界和时代的一切变迁、骚动都保持开放和吸收,保持沉默和良知,一种心灵深处的呐喊。他不能逃避创痛和忧患,但他可以不被毁灭;如果一旦毁灭,他便难以在那个时代精神的废墟上再度萌生,最终成为那个时代最诚实的代言者,衰老的人质。时代的一切烦恼和玩 As Allan Tate pointed out: the most fortunate era of art and poetry is the great culture at an edge of decline. One era convinced poets and destroyed poets. Dante’s Renaissance had loyally served Dante, while Baudelaire’s experience of the French era hurts and destroys him. In any case, as a poet, he must be forced to open up and absorb all changes and turmoil in his world and the times, remain silent and conscientious, a deep-seated cry. He could not escape the pains and worries but he could not be destroyed; if it were to be destroyed, he would find it hard to revive once again the ruins of that time, eventually becoming the most honest spokesman and aging hostage of that era. Times all the trouble and play
