En passant sur le pont de la Tournelle, un soir,
\nJe me suis arr\u00eat\u00e9 quelques instants pour voir
\nLe soleil se coucher derri\u00e8re Notre-Dame.
\nUn nuage splendide \u00e0 l\u2019horizon de flamme,
\nTel qu\u2019un oiseau g\u00e9ant qui va prendre l\u2019essor,
\nD\u2019un bout du ciel \u00e0 l\u2019autre ouvrait ses ailes d\u2019or ;
\n\u2014 Et c\u2019\u00e9taient des clart\u00e9s \u00e0 baisser la paupi\u00e8re.
\nLes tours au front orn\u00e9 de dentelles de pierre,
\nLe drapeau que le vent fouette, les minarets
\nQui s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8vent pareils aux sapins des for\u00eats,
\nLes pignons taillad\u00e9s que surmontent des anges
\nAux corps raides et longs, aux figures \u00e9tranges,
\nD\u2019un fond clair ressortaient en noir : l\u2019Archev\u00each\u00e9,
\nComme au pied de sa m\u00e8re un jeune enfant couch\u00e9,
\nSe dessinait au pied de l\u2019\u00e9glise, dont l\u2019ombre
\nS\u2019allongeait \u00e0 l\u2019entour myst\u00e9rieuse et sombre.
\n\u2014 Plus loin, un rayon rouge allumait les carreaux
\nD\u2019une maison du quai. \u2014 L\u2019air \u00e9tait doux, les eaux
\nSe plaignaient contre l\u2019arche \u00e0 doux bruit, et la vague
\nDe la vieille cit\u00e9 ber\u00e7ait l\u2019image vague ;
\nEt moi, je regardais toujours, ne songeant pas
\nQue la nuit \u00e9toil\u00e9e arrivait \u00e0 grands pas.<\/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":[533],"poems-book":[618],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[614],"class_list":["post-14046","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-533","poems-book-poesies-diverses-gautier","poete-theophile-gautier"],"yoast_head":"\n
