Abstract

In this article I consider the political meaning of one of the last Baudelaire’s prose poems, “Let’s beat up the poor!” Establishing some relationships between the last and previous periods in Baudelaire’s poetry, with the idea of the impossibility of a real Republic in mind (as, besides, Baudelaire himself was always very careful to let the reader know, in particular through his writings from 1851 on), I get into a more interpretive path, suggesting that perhaps the Second Empire was itself, for him, the flashiest expression of such impossibility, as the poet was mournfully chewing on during his last years.
