This book deals with the life and works of Charles Baudelaire, one of the
French great Poets.

When Baudelaire is great, when his genius is at its highest point of
imaginative creation, of imaginative criticism, it is never when he works by
implication—as the great men who are pure artists (for instance, Shakespeare)
work by implication only—but always from his personal point of view being
simply infallible and impeccable. The pure artist, it has been said, never
asserts: and the instances are far from being numerous; Balzac asserts, and
Balzac is always absolutely just in all his assertions: he whose analysis of
modern Society—La Comédie Humaine—verges almost always on creation; and
despite certain deficiencies in technique and in style, he remains the
greatest of all novelists. As for Baudelaire, he rarely asserts; he more often
suggests or divines—with that exquisite desire of perfect and just work that
is always in him.
