On le croyait fondateur de la ville,
\nVenu des pays clairs et lointains
\nVers ceux d\u2019Europe \u2014 avec sa pauvre crosse en main,
\nEt grand, sous sa bure servile.<\/p>\n

Pour se faire \u00e9couter il parlait par miracles,
\nEn des clairi\u00e8res d\u2019or, le soir, dans les for\u00eats,
\nO\u00f9 des granits carraient leurs symboles \u00e9pais,
\nEt tonnaient leurs oracles.<\/p>\n

Il \u00e9tait la tristesse et la douceur
\nDescendue autrefois, \u00e0 genoux, du calvaire,
\nVers les hommes et leur mis\u00e8re
\nEt vers leur c\u0153ur.<\/p>\n

Il accueillait l\u2019humanit\u00e9 fragile,
\nIl lui chantait le paradis sans fin
\nEt l\u2019endormait dans le r\u00eave divin,
\nLe front pos\u00e9 sur l\u2019\u00e9vangile.<\/p>\n

Plus tard, le roi, le juge et le bourreau
\nPrirent son verbe et le fauss\u00e8rent ;
\nEt les textes autoritaires
\nApparurent, tels des glaives hors du fourreau.<\/p>\n

Contre la paix qu\u2019il avait inclin\u00e9e
\nVers tous, de son geste cl\u00e9ment,
\nLa vie, avec des cris et des sursauts d\u00e9ments,
\nBrusque et rouge, fut d\u00e9ga\u00een\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Mais lui resta le clair ap\u00f4tre et le soleil
\nTi\u00e9di, aux yeux de tous, de patience et d\u2019indulgence
\nEt la pieuse et populaire intelligence
\nVenait puiser en lui la force et le conseil.
\nOn l\u2019invoquait pour les fi\u00e8vres et pour les peines,
\nOn le f\u00eatait en mai, au soir tombant,
\nEt des m\u00e8res apportaient leurs enfants
\nBaigner leurs maux dans l\u2019eau de sa fontaine.<\/p>\n

Son nom large et sonore d\u2019amour
\nMarquait la fin des longues litanies
\nEt des complaintes infinies
\nQue l\u2019on chantait, depuis toujours.<\/p>\n

Il se d\u00e9finissait, pr\u00e8s d\u2019un portail roman,
\nEn une image us\u00e9e et tremblotante,
\nQui \u00e9coutait, dans la poitrine
\nHaletante des tours,
\nLes bourdons lourds clamer au firmament.<\/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
