L’avenir seul peut rire et. seul peut bafouer.
\nAvec le puissant rire il ne faut pas jouer.
\nJupiter qui foudroie, ou Jupiter qui raille,
\nJe crains plus le, dernier. Le rire est la mitraille.
\nL’\u00e9clat de rire humain poursuit le noir pass\u00e9,
\nTaquine les p\u00e9dants born\u00e9s \u00e0 l’A B C,
\nEt manque de respect aux oreilles de l’\u00e2ne;
\nIl nargue ce qui. boite au nom de ce qui plane;
\nRois vermoulus, faux dieux g\u00e2t\u00e9s, codes pourris,
\nRessemblances de pr\u00eatre et de chauve-souris,
\nTerrible, il frappe tout; il augmente \u00e0 mesure
\nQue le jour cro\u00eet, plus clair sur la terre plus s\u00fbre;
\nIl d\u00e9nonce l’autel ef les dogmes pieux
\nQui vont en rampe douce aux budgets copieux;<\/p>\n
Il veut que l’art plus fier \u00e0 de grands buts nous m\u00e8ne;
\nIl ne se laisse rien conter par Th\u00e9ram\u00e8ne;
\nSi l’ennui se pr\u00e9sente, il refuse l’imp\u00f4t;
\nQuand, tout \u00e9merveill\u00e9 du fusil Chassepot,
\nTartuffe, sabre aux dents, prend un air de victoire,
\nI1 crie \u00e0 la chienlit derri\u00e8re cette gloire;
\nIl voit l’erreur qu’on chasse, assiste sans regrets
\nA cette fuite sombre au grand vent du progr\u00e8s,
\nEt se prodigue, altier, rude, aux tristes figures,
\nAu juge, faux, au prince en retraite, aux augures,
\nQui ne se peuvent plus regarder sans pleurer;
\nIl redouble en voyant tout se transfigurer;
\nIl fait balle; il est feu, projectile, \u00e9tincelle;
\nIl crible la routine en retard; il harc\u00e8le<\/p>\n
Tous ces tra\u00eenards qu’on voit pr\u00e9f\u00e9rer, engourdis,
\nAu bel enfant Demain le bonhomme Jadis,
\nEt, du wagon tra\u00een\u00e9 par l’\u00e9clair, il ricoche
\nSur la rosse poussive attel\u00e9e au vieux coche.<\/p>\n
