En ces temps merveilleux o\u00f9 la Th\u00e9ologie
\nFleurit avec le plus de s\u00e8ve et d\u2019\u00e9nergie,
\nOn raconte qu\u2019un jour un docteur des plus grands,
\n\u2014 Apr\u00e8s avoir forc\u00e9 les c\u0153urs indiff\u00e9rents,
\nLes avoir remu\u00e9s dans leurs profondeurs noires,
\nApr\u00e8s avoir franchi vers les c\u00e9lestes gloires
\nDes chemins singuliers \u00e0 lui-m\u00eame inconnus,
\nO\u00f9 les purs Esprits seuls peut-\u00eatre \u00e9taient venus,
\n\u2014 Comme un homme mont\u00e9 trop haut, pris de panique,
\nS\u2019\u00e9cria, transport\u00e9 d\u2019un orgueil satanique :
\n\u00ab J\u00e9sus, petit J\u00e9sus ! je t\u2019ai port\u00e9 bien haut !
\nMais si j\u2019avais voulu t\u2019attaquer au d\u00e9faut
\nDe l\u2019armure, ta honte \u00e9galerait ta gloire,
\nEt tu ne serais plus qu\u2019un f\u0153tus d\u00e9risoire ! \u00bb<\/p>\n
Imm\u00e9diatement sa raison s\u2019en alla.
\nL\u2019\u00e9clat de ce soleil d\u2019un cr\u00eape se voila ;
\nTout le chaos roula dans cette intelligence,
\nTemple autrefois vivant, plein d\u2019ordre et d\u2019opulence,
\nSous les plafonds duquel tant de pompe avait lui.
\nLe silence et la nuit s\u2019install\u00e8rent en lui,
\nComme dans un caveau dont la clef est perdue.
\nD\u00e8s lors il fut semblable aux b\u00eates de la rue,
\nEt quand il s\u2019en allait sans rien voir, \u00e0 travers
\nLes champs, sans distinguer les \u00e9t\u00e9s des hivers,
\nSale, inutile et laid comme une chose us\u00e9e,
\nIl faisait des enfants la joie et la ris\u00e9e.<\/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":[186],"poems-book":[189],"poemes-theme":[144],"poete":[190],"class_list":["post-1834","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-186","poems-book-les-fleurs-du-mal","poemes-theme-vanite","poete-charles-baudelaire"],"yoast_head":"\n
