From the introduction by Michael Hamburger:

Escrito en prosa hace más de ciento cincuenta años, este Poema del hachís es un desborde a la noción de género, una mezcla entre ensayo científico, poesía y testimonio. Baudelaire investiga de forma erudita y lucida sobre los orígenes del hachís, su uso espiritual y recreativo, y sobre todo las alteraciones que genera en la conciencia. Se trata de una invitación a pensar el consumo como una forma de conocimiento, una excitación de la imaginación,...

Es una obra cumbre de la poesía moderna. Sus composiciones rompen con el estilo convencional, en uso hasta entonces, y rejuvenecen la estructura del verso mediante el uso regular de encabalgamientos, rechazos y contrarrechazos. Esto renueva la forma rígida del soneto. Utiliza imágenes sugestivas mediante asociaciones a menudo inéditas, tales como el "Ángel cruel que azota los soles" (Le Voyage). Mezcla el lenguaje erudito con el discurso cotidiano....

Extrait : "Ce qui savent s'observer eux-mêmes et qui gardent la mémoire de leurs impressions, ceux-là qui ont su, comme Hoffmann, construire leur baromètre spirituel, ont eu parfois à noter, dans l'observatoire de leur pensée, de belles saisons, d'heureuses journées, de délicieuses minutes. Il est des jours o l'homme s'éveille avec un génie jeune et vigoureux."

Et pourtant que d'artistes de ce temps-ci doivent à elle seule leur pauvre renommée...
