Étienne Carjat’s Portrait of Charles Baudelaire – circa 1862. As a corollary of this implied admonition, the unbridled ferality of dislocated beings is focalised in the latter stages of the part through the enumeration of assorted exiles: Andromache (the archetypal displaced princess of antiquity), reduced to ‘Vil bétail’ (38); the African female, ‘amaigrie et phtisique’ (41); moribund orphans; the narrator’s own ‘esprit’ (49); ‘matelots’ (51); ‘captifs’ (52); ‘vaincus’ (52)… The list of lost figures augments the aforementioned sense of displacement, given that those listed are emblematic of estranged dwellers in a city that they no longer recognise. It is also a space of dreams and fantasy, where the speaker finds "gardens of bronze," "blue horizons," and "builds fairy castles" during the night. These poems reflect the effects of Hausmann renovation which make excluded parts of the society visible. ‘Le cygne’ is the eighty-ninth poem in Les Fleurs du mal and the fourth piece in the ‘Tableaux parisiens’ series, created for the second edition of the work in 1861.

The signs of fragmentation and abandonment, especially of old traditions and landmarks, evoke the ‘ordered chaos’ of Haussmannisation: the haphazardness of the cityscape is particularly stark in ‘Le cygne’, infusing Paris with a feeling of chaotic confluence for both human and non-human presences, especially in regard to the stream-of-consciousness presentation. Together, the poems in Tableaux Parisiens act as 24-hour cycle of Paris, starting with the second poem Le Soleil (The Sun) and ending with the second to last poem Le Crépuscule du Matin (Morning Twilight). The ninth stanza, moreover, recalls the remarkable impact of the swan, as well as the folly of societal faith in the positivity of progress: the rhyme between ‘fous’ (34) and ‘vous’ (36) could be taken as an apostrophe to human beings in the throes of urbanisation, in an attempt to recall them from the headiness of relentless ambition.

(25-28). Baudelaire’s reputation as the father of modern poetry about cities is largely based on the “Tableaux Parisiens,” which describe the streets of Paris in such gritty detail; the importance of these street scenes for the poet, though, is that he usually plunges into them with the desire to transcend them. The German literary critic Walter Benjamin (1892–1940), in his writings on Baudelaire's work, used the word flâneur to describe an individual who practices the mode of perception and creation that Baudelaire attributes to M.G., and from which the poems in "Parisian Scenes" seem to arise.

Baudelaire believed the work ought to be read as one structured whole, not individual poems or sections (his friend Barbey D’Aurvilly coined the phrase “secret architecture” to express this structure).
