During the storm, the ship is shadowed by an albatross, a huge seabird considered an omen of good fortune by seafarers.The albatross led them out of the storm but then For no good reason, the mariner shoots the albatross. After a weary time the Mariner saw a tiny speck on the horizon. It resolved into a ship, moving toward them. But as the ship neared, they saw that it was a ghostly

Calling these birds "captive kings," the speaker marvels at their ugly awkwardness on land compared to their graceful command of the skies. Just as in the introductory poem, the speaker compares himself to the fallen image of the albatross, observing that poets are likewise exiled and ridiculed on earth. The beauty

l'infirme qui volait! Le Poète est semblable au prince des nuées Qui hante la tempête et se rit de l'archer; Exilé sur le sol au milieu des huées, Ses ailes de géant l'empêchent de marcher. Often, to amuse themselves, the men of a crew Catch albatrosses, those vast sea birds That indolently follow a ship As it glides over the deep, briny sea.

Indeed, the same animal image could be used in three distinct ways in the three themes. The bird is therefore Albatross to identify the poet, a crow to refer to the colours of death, or an eagle to refer to Zeus. These three dynamic connotations attributed to animal images in Les Fleurs du Mal are the outcome of a Baudelairean anthropological path coming essentially

you are too indispensable to the big, wide world to be allowed out of reach, but that you are “doing your own thing”. You are independent, yet in demand; busy, but not tied down. In these days of competitive exhaustion, a ringing phone is both an albatross around the neck and a badge of honour. If the mobile has a predecessor in technology, it is the wristwatch, which spans the same territory between fashion accessory and a functional item. Having an outsize diving watch was precursor of having the

On retrouve d’ailleurs la même idée dans le poème l’Albatros, le deuxième de la section où le poète est associé à un albatrosse, un oiseau majestueux et donc proche du ciel. Au départ le poète est ouvert au monde et à l’extérieur, observant la société.

In the pause that ensued, I gave inward thanks that she hadn't come up with the usual distressing question : "Barrett, like the hall ?" For it is my special albatross to be related to the guy that built Barrett Hall, the largest and ugliest structure in Harvard Yard, a colossal monument to my family's money, vanity and flagrant Harvardism.
