This essay proposes a critical approach on the "correspondences" in the Les Fleurs du Mal, considering their dimensions as a poetic device. The "correspondences" are considered in their relationships between poetic device and "natural" historicity of forms, and are observed from the point of view of the "anachronism" that, according Walter Benjamin, produces a poetic experience organized from an immemorial idea of flux.
