Dans ma cervelle se prom\u00e8ne,
\nAinsi qu\u2019en son appartement,
\nUn beau chat, fort, doux et charmant ;
\nQuand il miaule, on l\u2019entend \u00e0 peine,<\/p>\n
Tant son timbre est tendre et discret ;
\nMais que sa voix s\u2019apaise ou gronde,
\nElle est toujours suave et profonde.
\nC\u2019est l\u00e0 son charme et son secret.<\/p>\n
Cette voix, qui perle et qui filtre
\nDans mon fonds le plus t\u00e9n\u00e9breux,
\nMe remplit comme un vers nombreux
\nEt me p\u00e9n\u00e8tre comme un philtre.<\/p>\n
Elle endort les plus cruels maux
\nEt contient toutes les extases ;
\nPour dire les plus longues phrases,
\nElle n\u2019a pas besoin de mots.<\/p>\n
Non, il n\u2019est pas d\u2019archet qui morde
\nSur mon c\u0153ur, parfait instrument,
\nEt fasse plus royalement
\nChanter sa plus vibrante corde<\/p>\n
Que ta voix, chat myst\u00e9rieux,
\nChat s\u00e9raphique, chat \u00e9trange,
\nEn qui tout est, comme en un ange,
\nAussi subtil qu\u2019harmonieux.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De sa fourrure blonde et brune
\nSort au parfum si doux qu\u2019un soir
\nJ\u2019en fus embaum\u00e9, pour l\u2019avoir
\nCaress\u00e9e une fois, rien qu\u2019une.<\/p>\n
C\u2019est l\u2019esprit familier du lieu ;
\nIl juge, il pr\u00e9side, il inspire
\nToutes choses dans son empire ;
\nPeut-\u00eatre est-il f\u00e9e, est-il dieu ?<\/p>\n
Quand mes yeux vers ce chat que j\u2019aime,
\nTir\u00e9s comme par un aimant,
\nSe retournent docilement,
\nEt que je regarde en moi-m\u00eame,<\/p>\n
Je vois avec \u00e9tonnement
\nLe feu de ses prunelles p\u00e2les,
\nClairs fanaux, vivantes opales,
\nQui me contemplent fixement.<\/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":[342,334,400,370,369],"poete":[190],"class_list":["post-1868","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-186","poems-book-les-fleurs-du-mal","poemes-theme-animaux","poemes-theme-bonheur","poemes-theme-chat","poemes-theme-mystere","poemes-theme-sensualite","poete-charles-baudelaire"],"yoast_head":"\n
