Charles Baudelaire - Semper Eadem

Charles Baudelaire was a French poet, essayist, and art critic who lived from 1821 to 1867. He was a key figure in the Symbolist movement in poetry, and his work has had a significant influence on modernist and postmodernist literature.

"Semper Eadem" is a poem in which Baudelaire expresses his deep love and devotion to a woman named Jeanne Duval. She was an actress and dancer who became Baudelaire's muse and lover, and the subject of many of his poems.

The poem is notable for its use of repetitive phrases and imagery, which convey the speaker's sense of longing and desire for the beloved. It also includes references to classical mythology, suggesting that the love between the speaker and Jeanne transcends time and is part of a larger cosmic order. #literature #poetry
