Il faut admirer tout pour s\u2019exalter soi-m\u00eame
\nEt se dresser plus haut que ceux qui ont v\u00e9cu
\nDe coupable souffrance et de d\u00e9sirs vaincus :
\nL\u2019\u00e2pre r\u00e9alit\u00e9 formidable et supr\u00eame
\nDistille une assez rouge et tonique liqueur
\nPour s\u2019en griser la t\u00eate et s\u2019en br\u00fbler le c\u0153ur.<\/p>\n
\u00d4 chair et pur froment d\u2019o\u00f9 l\u2019on chasse l\u2019ivraie !
\nFlamme nette, choisie entre mille flambeaux
\nD\u2019un l\u00e9gendaire \u00e9clat, mais d\u2019un prestige faux !
\nDites, marquer son pas dans l\u2019existence vraie,
\nPar un chemin ardu vers un lointain accueil,
\nN\u2019ayant d\u2019autre arme au front que son lucide orgueil !<\/p>\n
Marcher dans sa fiert\u00e9 et dans sa confiance,
\nDroit \u00e0 l\u2019obstacle, avec l\u2019espoir tr\u00e8s ent\u00eat\u00e9
\nDe le r\u00e9duire, \u00e0 coups pr\u00e9cis de volont\u00e9,
\nD\u2019intelligence prompte ou d\u2019ample patience
\nEt de sentir cro\u00eetre et grandir le sentiment
\nD\u2019\u00eatre, de jour en jour, plus fort, superbement.<\/p>\n
Aimer avec ferveur soi-m\u00eame en tous les autres
\nQui s\u2019exaltent de m\u00eame en de m\u00eames combats
\nVers le m\u00eame avenir dont on entend le pas ;
\nAimer leur c\u0153ur et leur cerveau pareils aux v\u00f4tres
\nParce qu\u2019ils ont souffert, en des jours noirs et fous,
\nM\u00eame angoisse, m\u00eame affre et m\u00eame deuil que vous.<\/p>\n
Et s\u2019enivrer si fort de l\u2019humaine bataille
\n\u2014 P\u00e2le et flottant reflet des monstrueux assauts
\nOu des groupements d\u2019or des \u00e9toiles, l\u00e0-haut \u2014
\nQu\u2019on vit en tout ce qui agit, lutte ou tressaille
\nEt qu\u2019on accepte avidement, le c\u0153ur ouvert,
\nL\u2019\u00e2pre et terrible loi qui r\u00e9git l\u2019univers.<\/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":[710],"poems-book":[699],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[654],"class_list":["post-15607","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-710","poems-book-la-multiple-splendeur","poete-emile-verhaeren"],"yoast_head":"\n
