Gouffres, m’entendez-vous? Me voyez-vous, \u00e9cumes?
\nJe surnage. Longtemps, doux enfants, nous v\u00e9c\u00fbmes,
\nMes deux fr\u00e8res et moi, dans cet A B C D
\nD’imposture et d’erreur, dont l’homme a fait sa bible;
\nMais c’est fini, j’en sors et je lutte, terrible
\nEt joyeux comme un \u00e9vad\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Nous sommes quelques-uns nageant dans l’ombre immense,
\n\u00c9perdus; tout est pi\u00e8ge, ignorance, incl\u00e9mence;,
\nLa mer n’a, pas un pli qui ne soit triste et noir;
\nL’\u00e9cueil g\u00e9mit; le vent pleure, la vague tremble;
\nLa brume, c’est le doute; et par moments, il semble
\nQue l’ab\u00eeme est au d\u00e9sespoir.<\/p>\n
L’oc\u00e9an, ce despote, a l’autan pour ministre.
\nJe regarde au del\u00e0 de l’horizon sinistre,
\nJe r\u00e9siste \u00e0 l’horreur du gouffre illimit\u00e9;
\nJe vois plus loin que l’ombre et la haine et la guerre.
\nComme Colomb criait \u00e0 ses compagnons: Terre!
\nJe crie aux hommes: V\u00e9rit\u00e9!<\/p>\n
Et je vois Pythagore, Eschyle, esprits sublimes,
\nJob, Dante, \u00e2mes ayant l’habitude des cimes,
\nThal\u00e8s, Milton, planer dans l’obscur firmament.
\nAinsi, malgr\u00e9 les chocs de l’onde et ses hu\u00e9es,
\nUne dispersion d’aigles ,dans les nu\u00e9es
\nTourbillonne superbement.<\/p>\n
Pr\u00eatres, vous.n’avez pu m’engloutir dans vos songes;
\nDieu ne m’a pas laiss\u00e9 noyer par vos mensonges,
\nJ’avance, et je fais signe aux p\u00e2les matelots;
\nJe rapporte des mers la perle qu’on y trouve,
\nJe vis!L’\u00e9vasion du naufrage se prouve
\nPar la t\u00eate au-dessus des flots.<\/p>\n
