Quiconque pense, illustre, obscur, siffl\u00e9, vainqueur,
\nGrand ou petit, exprime en son livre son coeur.
\nCe que nous \u00e9crivons de nos plumes d\u2019argile,
\nSoit sur le livre d\u2019or comme le doux Virgile,
\nSoit comme Alighieri sur la bible de fer,
\nEst notre propre flamme et notre propre chair.
\nLe livre est \u00e0 ce point l\u2019auteur, et le po\u00ebme
\nLe po\u00ebte, notre oeuvre est tellement nous-m\u00eame,
\nNous la sentons en nous si m\u00eal\u00e9e \u00e0 nos pleurs,
\nA notre sang, si bien faite de nos douleurs
\nEt si profond\u00e9ment dans nos os p\u00e9n\u00e9trante,
\nQue lorsqu\u2019il arriva qu\u2019en l\u2019an mil huit cent trente
\nMademoiselle Mars, Firmin et Joanny
\nPour la premi\u00e8re fois jou\u00e8rent Hernani,
\nJ\u2019eus un fr\u00e9missement de pudeur viol\u00e9e.
\nJusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0, dans une ombre \u00e9toil\u00e9e,
\nRuy, Carlos, le bandit, le cor de la for\u00eat,
\nDoua Sol p\u00e2le, \u00e9taient mon r\u00eave et mon secret ;
\nJe leur parlais au fond des extases farouches,
\nJe voyais remuer distinctement leurs bouches,
\nJe vivais t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate, \u00e9mu d\u2019un vague effroi,
\nAvec ce monde obscur qui se mouvait en moi.
\nLa foule s\u2019y ruant me parut un supplice.
\nIl me sembla quand, seul derri\u00e8re la coulisse,<\/p>\n
Je vis Faure crier au machiniste : Va,
\nEt lorsqu\u2019en frissonnant la toile se leva,
\nQue devant tout ce peuple immense aux yeux de flamme
\nJe sentais se lever la jupe de mon \u00e2me.<\/p>\n
