La derni\u00e8re goutte de vin s\u2019allume au fond du verre
\nO\u00f9 vient d\u2019appara\u00eetre un ch\u00e2teau.
\nLes arbres noueux du bord de la route s\u2019inclinent vers le voyageur.
\nIl vient du village proche,
\nIl vient de la ville lointaine,
\nIl ne fait que passer au pied des clochers.
\nIl aper\u00e7oit \u00e0 la fen\u00eatre une \u00e9toile rouge qui bouge,
\nQui descend, qui se prom\u00e8ne en vacillant
\nSur la route blanche, dans la campagne noire.
\nElle se dirige vers le voyageur qui la regarde venir.
\nUn instant elle brille dans chacun de ses yeux,
\nElle se fixe sur son front.
\n\u00c9tonn\u00e9 de cette lueur glaciale qui l\u2019illumine,
\nIl essuie son front.
\nUne goutte de vin perle \u00e0 son doigt.
\nMaintenant l’homme s\u2019\u00e9loigne et s\u2019amoindrit
\nDans la nuit.
\nIl est pass\u00e9 pr\u00e8s de cette source o\u00f9 vous venez au matin cueillir le cresson
\nfrais,
\nIl est pass\u00e9 pr\u00e8s de la maison abandonn\u00e9e.
\nC\u2019est l\u2019homme \u00e0 la goutte de vin sur le front.
\nIl danse \u00e0 l\u2019heure actuelle dans une salle immense,
\nUne salle brillamment \u00e9clair\u00e9e,
\nResplendissante de son parquet cir\u00e9
\nProfond comme un miroir.
\nIl est seul avec sa danseuse
\nDans cette salle immense, et il danse
\nAu son d\u2019un orchestre de verre pil\u00e9.
\nEt les cr\u00e9atures de la nuit
\nContemplent ce couple solitaire et qui danse
\nEt la plus belle d\u2019entre les cr\u00e9atures de la nuit
\nEssuie machinalement une goutte de vin \u00e0 son front,
\nLa remet dans un verre,
\nEt le dormeur s\u2019\u00e9veille,
\nVoit la goutte briller de cent mille rubis dans le verre
\nQui \u00e9tait vide lorsqu\u2019il s’endormit.
\nLa contemple.
\nL\u2019univers oscille durant une seconde de silence
\nEt le sommeil reprend ses droits,
\nEt l’univers reprend son cours
\nPar les milliers de routes blanches trac\u00e9es par le monde
\n\u00c0 travers les campagnes t\u00e9n\u00e9breuses.<\/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":[674],"poems-book":[665],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[655],"class_list":["post-14515","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-674","poems-book-fortunes","poete-robert-desnos"],"yoast_head":"\n
