Oui, l\u2019\u0153uvre sort plus belle
\nD\u2019une forme au travail
\nRebelle,
\nVers, marbre, onyx, \u00e9mail.<\/p>\n
Point de contraintes fausses !
\nMais que pour marcher droit
\nTu chausses,
\nMuse, un cothurne \u00e9troit !<\/p>\n
Fi du rythme commode,
\nComme un soulier trop grand,
\nDu mode
\nQue tout pied quitte et prend !<\/p>\n
Statuaire, repousse
\nL\u2019argile que p\u00e9trit
\nLe pouce
\nQuand flotte ailleurs l\u2019esprit ;<\/p>\n
Lutte avec le carrare,
\nAvec le paros dur
\nEt rare,
\nGardiens du contour pur ;<\/p>\n
Emprunte \u00e0 Syracuse
\nSon bronze o\u00f9 fermement
\nS\u2019accuse
\nLe trait fier et charmant ;<\/p>\n
D\u2019une main d\u00e9licate
\nPoursuis dans un filon
\nD\u2019agate
\nLe profil d\u2019Apollon.<\/p>\n
Peintre, fuis l\u2019aquarelle,
\nEt fixe la couleur
\nTrop fr\u00eale
\nAu four de l\u2019\u00e9mailleur ;<\/p>\n
Fais les sir\u00e8nes bleues,
\nTordant de cent fa\u00e7ons
\nLeurs queues,
\nLes monstres des blasons ;<\/p>\n
Dans son nimbe trilobe
\nLa Vierge et son J\u00e9sus,
\nLe globe
\nAvec la croix dessus.<\/p>\n
Tout passe. \u2014 L\u2019art robuste
\nSeul a l\u2019\u00e9ternit\u00e9 :
\nLe buste
\nSurvit \u00e0 la cit\u00e9,<\/p>\n
Et la m\u00e9daille aust\u00e8re
\nQue trouve un laboureur
\nSous terre
\nR\u00e9v\u00e8le un empereur.<\/p>\n
Les dieux eux-m\u00eames meurent.
\nMais les vers souverains
\nDemeurent
\nPlus forts que les airains.<\/p>\n
Sculpte, lime, cis\u00e8le ;
\nQue ton r\u00eave flottant
\nSe scelle
\nDans le bloc r\u00e9sistant !<\/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":[647],"poems-book":[648],"poemes-theme":[344,351,141],"poete":[614],"class_list":["post-13882","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-647","poems-book-emaux-et-camees","poemes-theme-art","poemes-theme-creativite","poemes-theme-travail","poete-theophile-gautier"],"yoast_head":"\n
