Hypocrisie et vice, \u2014 oui, c\u2019est bien l\u00e0 le monde :
\n Belles maximes et grands airs
\nJet\u00e9s comme un manteau sur le cloaque immonde
\n D\u2019un c\u0153ur tout gangren\u00e9 de vers.
\nOui, \u2014 la religion dont le p\u00e9ch\u00e9 se couvre
\n Pour japper apr\u00e8s la vertu ;
\nOui, \u2014 le simple dont l\u2019\u00e2me \u00e0 tous les regards s\u2019ouvre,
\n Aux pieds du m\u00e9chant abattu ;
\nLa vierge pure en proie aux noires calomnies
\n De courtisanes de bas lieu
\nQui, vieilles et sans dents et les l\u00e8vres jaunies,
\n Osent mentir si pr\u00e8s de Dieu.
\n\u2014 Sorci\u00e8res de Macbeth, dignes d\u2019\u00eatre hu\u00e9es,
\n Serpents arm\u00e9s d\u2019un triple dard,
\nUlc\u00e8res ambulants, viles prostitu\u00e9es,
\n Tombeaux badigeonn\u00e9s de fard,
\nOh ! comme il leur va bien, elles dont trente places,
\n Elles dont trente carrefours,
\nAvec des charretiers, crapuleux Lovelaces,
\n Ont vu les publiques amours ;
\nElles dont la jeunesse en d\u00e9bauches pass\u00e9e
\n Couperose et jaspe le teint,
\nEt qui sous une peau d\u00e9tendue et pliss\u00e9e
\n Couvent un brasier mal \u00e9teint,
\nD\u2019user tartufement leurs genoux sur les dalles,
\n Leurs pouces sur un chapelet,
\nEt prenant pour voiler leurs antiques scandales
\n La soutane d\u2019un prestolet,
\nDe venir sans pudeur noircir une que j\u2019aime
\n Comme l\u2019on n\u2019a jamais aim\u00e9,
\nD\u2019un amour pur et saint et qui de Dieu lui-m\u00eame,
\n Certes, ne peut \u00eatre bl\u00e2m\u00e9.<\/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":[620],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[614],"class_list":["post-14055","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-533","poems-book-premieres-poesies-gautier","poete-theophile-gautier"],"yoast_head":"\n
