- Title
On the Double-Chain Pantun Structure in Baudelaire's Harmonie du soir.
- Authors
de Cornulier, Benoît
- Abstract
Baudelaire's poem Harmonie du soir is a real pantun. The metrical structure of this poem-form is analysed: it implies a semantic alternance between two alternating series of distich-modules. Understanding this alternance requires a careful interpretation of the Catholic liturgical rhyming-notions in the poem, 'encensoir', 'reposoir', 'ostensoir', and precisely taking into account the Eucharist sacrament in which they were used. But, instead of a religious Sacrament realizing the death of Jesus and presence of God, this is a poem realizing the presence of a lost, beloved person in the poet's memory.
