Invitation to a Journey

by Charles Baudelaire

Baudelaire's "L'Invitation au Voyage" is a poem that transports the reader to a world of exotic beauty and serene wonder. The poem, written in French, uses evocative imagery and sensual language to paint a picture of India, a place that captured the poet's imagination during his voyage in 1841. The speaker invites their beloved to join them on this journey to a land brimming with vibrant colors and a captivating aura of mystery. The poem is a celebration of the transformative power of love and the allure of the unknown.
