Autant que moi malade et veule, as-tu go\u00fbt\u00e9
\nQuand ton \u00eatre ployait sous les fi\u00e8vres brandies,
\nQuand tu m\u00e2chais l\u2019orvi\u00e9tan des maladies,
\nLe coupable conseil de l\u2019inutilit\u00e9 ?<\/p>\n
Et doux soleil qui baise un \u0153il \u00e9teint d\u2019aveugle ?
\nEt fleur venue an tard d\u00e9cembral de l\u2019hiver ?
\nEt plume d\u2019oiselet souffl\u00e9e au vent de fer ?
\nEt neutre et vide \u00e9cho vers la taure qui meugle ?<\/p>\n
\u00d4 les r\u00eaves du rien, en un cerveau mordu
\nD\u2019impossible ! s\u2019aimer, dans son effort qui leurre !
\nSe construire, pour la d\u00e9truire, une demeure !
\nEt se cueillir, pour le jeter, un fruit tendu !<\/p>\n
Hommes tristes, ceux-l\u00e0 qui croient \u00e0 leur g\u00e9nie
\nEt fous ! et qui peinent, sereins de vanit\u00e9 ;
\nMais toi, qui t\u2019es instruit de ta futilit\u00e9,
\nAime ton vain d\u00e9sir pour sa toute ironie.<\/p>\n
Regarde en toi, l\u2019illusion de l\u2019univers
\nDanser ; le monde entier est du monde la dupe ;
\nAgis gratuitement et sans remords ; occupe
\nTa vie absurde \u00e0 se moquer de son revers.<\/p>\n
Songe \u00e0 ces lys royaux, \u00e0 ces roses ducales,
\nFiers d\u2019eux-m\u00eames et qui fleurissent, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cart,
\nDans un jardin, us\u00e9 de si\u00e8cles, quelque part,
\nEt n\u2019ont jamais courb\u00e9 leurs tiges verticales.<\/p>\n
Inutiles pourtant, inutiles et vains,
\nParfum\u00e9 demain perdus, corolles demain mortes,
\nEt personne pour s\u2019en venir ouvrir les portes
\nEt les faire servir au p\u00e2le orgueil des mains.<\/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":[252],"poems-book":[686],"poemes-theme":[406],"poete":[654],"class_list":["post-15180","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-252","poems-book-les-debacles","poemes-theme-sagesse","poete-emile-verhaeren"],"yoast_head":"\n
