Spleen baudelairien
The word spleen originates in Greek σπλήν (splēn) and means " rate" or " bad humeur" in English.
In France, the spleen represents a state melancholic person without definite cause. This term was popularized by the poet Charles Baudelaire (1821 - 1867) but it was already used previously, by writers of the Romantisme (19th century), running then developed primarily in Germany and Great Britain. The relation between spleen and Mélancolie comes from the Médecine and the concept of the moods. One of these moods is the black bile secreted by the Rate and associated with the Mélancolie and misfortune.
At Baudelaire, the spleen becomes one of the essential components of the anguish to exist.
