Je hais plus que la mort cette d\u00e9bauche prude
\nQui n\u2019ose sortir que de nuit,
\nEt retourne la t\u00eate avec inqui\u00e9tude
\nTout empourpr\u00e9e au moindre bruit,
\nEt joue \u00e0 la vertu comme une honn\u00eate femme,
\nN\u2019ayant pas la force qu\u2019il faut
\nPour \u00eatre hardiment et largement inf\u00e2me,
\nPour porter sa honte front haut.
\nAussi le c\u0153ur me l\u00e8ve, \u00e0 ces sobres orgies
\nFaites dans un salon \u00e9troit,
\nAux discr\u00e8tes lueurs de quatre \u00e0 cinq bougies
\nEt dont chacun retourne droit ;
\n\u00c0 ce vice bourgeois, mesquin, suant la prose,
\nComme le font les boutiquiers,
\nGens qui savent \u00f4ter le galbe \u00e0 toute chose,
\nLes dandys, avec les banquiers ;
\nCe vice, homme rang\u00e9 qui ne l\u2019est qu\u2019\u00e0 ses heures,
\nQui sort calme d\u2019un mauvais lieu,
\nComme l\u2019on sortirait des plus chastes demeures
\nOu de quelque \u00e9glise de Dieu,
\nLa cravate nou\u00e9e et les cheveux en ordre,
\nLe frac boutonn\u00e9 jusqu\u2019au cou,
\nPas le plus petit pli sur quoi l\u2019on puisse mordre,
\nRien de d\u00e9braill\u00e9, rien de fou,
\nRien de hardi, de chaud, de bon viveur, qui fasse
\nAu reproche mollir la voix
\nEt dire au p\u00e8re : \u00ab Il faut que jeunesse se passe, \u00bb
\nComme l\u2019on disait autrefois.
\nJ\u2019aime trente fois mieux une d\u00e9bauche franche,
\nJetant son masque de satin,
\nLe coude sur la nappe et la main sur la hanche.
\nCriant, buvant jusqu\u2019au matin,
\nQui laisse, sans corset, aller sa gorge folle,
\nRose encor des baisers du soir,
\nQui tord lascivement sa taille souple et molle,
\nSur tous les genoux va s\u2019asseoir,
\nEt, bleuissant sa joue au punch qui siffle et flambe
\nAu fond du crat\u00e8re vermeil,
\nRit de se voir ainsi, danse et montre sa jambe,
\nEt ne veut pas qu\u2019on ait sommeil :
\n\u2014 C\u2019est une po\u00e9sie au moins, une palette
\nO\u00f9 brillent mille tons divers,
\nUn type net et franc, une chose compl\u00e8te,
\nDe la couleur ! des chants ! des vers !<\/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-14064","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-533","poems-book-premieres-poesies-gautier","poete-theophile-gautier"],"yoast_head":"\n
