巴黎的憂鬱

His decision to write these short prose poems feels like a deliberate attempt to capture the fleeting and often unsettling moments of urban life. I'm curious what drove him to choose this form over traditional poetry.

The mood is so pervasive and immersive that I found myself contemplating the city and my own feelings of alienation. Am I the only one who felt this deep connection to the tone?

The juxtaposition of ugliness and allure seems intentional, but I'm wondering what others think Baudelaire intended to convey about the modern city and human experience.
