The Petits Poemes en Prose are experiments, and they are also confessions. Who of us, says Baudelaire in his dedicatory preface, has not dreamed, in moments of ambition, of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical without rhythm and without rhyme, subtle and staccato enough to follow the lyric motions of the soul, the wavering outlines of meditation, the sudden starts of the conscience? This miracle he has achieved in these bagatelles laboriueses, to use his own words, these astonishing trifles, in which the art is not more novel, precise and perfect than the quality of thought and of emotion. These little masterpieces, give much delight in Symons translation in which he have tried to be absolutely faithful to the sense, the words, and the rhythm of the original.
