Va prier dans Saint-Marc pour ta peine amoureuse ;
\nLe temple de Byzance est sensible au p\u00e9ch\u00e9 ;
\nUn parfum de benjoin, d\u2019ambre, de tub\u00e9reuse,
\nGlisse des frais arceaux et des balcons pench\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
Va prier dans Saint-Marc pour ta douce folie ;
\nLes pigeons assembl\u00e9s sur la fa\u00e7ade en or
\nProt\u00e8gent les transports de la m\u00e9lancolie,
\nEt les anges des cieux sont plus cl\u00e9ments encor.<\/p>\n
Va prier dans Saint-Marc ; les dalles, les rosaces
\nOnt l\u2019\u00e9clat des bijoux et des tapis persans ;
\nDepuis plus de mille ans dans ce palais s\u2019entassent
\nLes profanes souhaits parfum\u00e9s par l\u2019encens.<\/p>\n
Vois, sous leurs ch\u00e2les noirs, les tendres suppliantes
\nJoindre des doigts br\u00fblants et songer doucement.
\nDivine pauvret\u00e9 ! cet Alhambra les tente
\nMoins que les cabarets o\u00f9 boivent leurs amants !<\/p>\n
Va prier dans Saint-Marc. Le Dieu des \u00c9vangiles
\nMarche, les bras ouverts, dans de blonds paradis.
\nOn entend les bateaux qui partent pour les \u00eeles,
\nEt les pigeons fr\u00e9mir au canon de midi.<\/p>\n
Des mosa\u00efques d\u2019or, limpides alv\u00e9oles,
\nGlisse un mystique miel, lumineux, \u00e9pic\u00e9 ;
\nEt vers la Piazzetta, de penchantes gondoles
\nEntra\u00eenent mollement les couples exauc\u00e9s\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Beau temple, que ta gr\u00e2ce est chaude, complaisante !
\n\u00d4 jardin des langueurs, \u00f4 porte d\u2019Orient !
\nCourtisane des Grecs, sultane agonisante,
\nTurban d\u2019or et d\u2019\u00e9mail sous l\u2019azur d\u00e9faillant !<\/p>\n
Tu joins l\u2019odeur de l\u2019ambre aux fastes exotiques,
\nEt tu meurs, des pigeons \u00e0 ton sein agraf\u00e9s,
\nComme aux rives en feu des mers asiatiques,
\nLa Basilique o\u00f9 dort sainte Pasipha\u00e9 ! \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"annee":[274],"poems-book":[594],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[611],"class_list":["post-13081","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-274","poems-book-les-vivants-et-les-morts","poete-anna-de-noailles"],"yoast_head":"\n
