Si nous nous admirons vraiment les uns les autres,
\nDu fond m\u00eame de notre ardeur et notre foi,
\nVous les penseurs, vous les savants, vous les ap\u00f4tres,
\nPour les temps qui viendront, vous extrairez la loi.<\/p>\n
Nous apportons, ivres du monde et de nous-m\u00eames,
\nDes c\u0153urs d\u2019hommes nouveaux dans le vieil univers.
\nLes Dieux sont loin et leur louange et leur blasph\u00e8me ;
\nNotre force est en nous et nous avons souffert.<\/p>\n
Nous admirons nos mains, nos yeux et nos pens\u00e9es,
\nM\u00eame notre douleur qui devient notre orgueil ;
\nToute recherche est fermement organis\u00e9e
\nPour fouiller l\u2019inconnu dont nous cassons le seuil.<\/p>\n
S\u2019il est encor l\u00e0-bas des caves de myst\u00e8re
\nO\u00f9 tout flambeau s\u2019\u00e9teint ou recule effar\u00e9,
\nPlut\u00f4t que d\u2019en peupler les coins par des chim\u00e8res
\nNous pr\u00e9f\u00e9rons ne point savoir que nous leurrer.<\/p>\n
Un infini plus sain nous cerne et nous p\u00e9n\u00e8tre ;
\nNotre raison monte plus haut ; notre c\u0153ur bout ;
\nEt nous nous exaltons si bellement des \u00eatres
\nQue nous changeons le sens que nous avons de tout.<\/p>\n
Cerveau, tu r\u00e8gnes seul sur nos actes lucides ;
\nAimer, c\u2019est s\u2019asservir ; admirer, se grandir ;
\n\u00d4 tel profond vitrail, dans l\u2019ombre des absides,
\nQui refl\u00e8te la vie et la fait resplendir !<\/p>\n
Aubes, matins, midis et soirs, toute lumi\u00e8re
\nEst aussit\u00f4t mu\u00e9e en or et en beaut\u00e9.
\nIl exalte l\u2019espace et le ciel et la terre
\nEt transforme le monde \u00e0 travers sa clart\u00e9.<\/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-15613","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-710","poems-book-la-multiple-splendeur","poete-emile-verhaeren"],"yoast_head":"\n
