Resumen
The paper deals with the problem of Time as a basic component of Baudelaire's spleen. Since his childhood, Baudelaire feels to be disinherited, determined to unhappiness. Looking closely at his writings, we see immediately that Baudelaire's conscience is reflected by the incurable melancholy. His spleen has become the fundamental category of his aesthetics, of his conception of the world. The Baudelaire's poetry is "the mimesis of the death". The life, measured by the heart beating is nothing more then waiting for her. This paper aims to show that the time swallowing up the life is one of the keys of Baudelaire's poetry. The personification and the use of majuscule are making from him a monster par excellence that man should be afraid of. Baudelaire's melancholy entertains with the past a nostalgic liaison. Deprived from the love, which he is searching for, Baudelaire is turning to past. Thanks to his imagination and perfumes, he tries to find again the happy time spent in the arms of his mother. From this point of view my paper examines in particular Baudelaire's poetic universe, targeting his aesthetics and poetic art, and trying to prove that thanks to perfume and memory, everything which is absent becomes present. In this world, the memories can reborn: the time becomes reversible, the past can be resuscitated.
