Correspondence is one of Baudelaire's favorite poems. This poem is the author's own poetry, the poet's conception of poetry. From the title, we see that there is a kind of comparison, similarities that underlie the things that are in the environment of man. In his verses we see that the poet finds correspondences between the different aspects that make up nature. There are correspondences between the material world and the spiritual world. The first stanza says it: the world is a temple of symbols that we must decipher. Not only man deciphers, the poet must also decipher. It is his job: to discover those symbols, capturing, translating. It is the only way for the brilliant, exact, perfect poem to exist. Excellent work, @josemalavem. As always.
