Re: Best Rhymed Translation of Les Fleurs du Mal?
Campbell's translations have yet to let me down. The way he renders Baudelaire's rhythms and metaphors strikes me as very true to the spirit of the poems even when somewhat differently structured from the text. But I might defer to those with more experience with differing translations and the French language, and I do understand your concerns. But for reading purposes, I feel the point is moot given how pleasing the results are. (His translation of the second poem entitled "Le Chat" has particular resonance with me.)
