Comme un b\u00e9tail pensif sur le sable couch\u00e9es,
\nElles tournent leurs yeux vers l\u2019horizon des mers,
\nEt leurs pieds se cherchant et leurs mains rapproch\u00e9es
\nOnt de douces langueurs et des frissons amers :<\/p>\n
Les unes, c\u0153urs \u00e9pris des longues confidences,
\nDans le fond des bosquets o\u00f9 jasent les ruisseaux,
\nVont \u00e9pelant l\u2019amour des craintives enfances
\nEt creusent le bois vert des jeunes arbrisseaux ;<\/p>\n
D\u2019autres, comme des s\u0153urs, marchent lentes et graves
\n\u00c0 travers les rochers pleins d\u2019apparitions,
\nO\u00f9 saint Antoine a vu surgir comme des laves
\nLes seins nus et pourpr\u00e9s de ses tentations ;<\/p>\n
Il en est, aux lueurs des r\u00e9sines croulantes,
\nQui dans le creux muet des vieux antres pa\u00efens
\nT\u2019appellent au secours de leurs fi\u00e8vres hurlantes,
\n\u00d4 Bacchus, endormeur des remords anciens !<\/p>\n
Et d\u2019autres, dont la gorge aime les scapulaires,
\nQui, rec\u00e9lant un fouet sous leurs longs v\u00eatements,
\nM\u00ealent dans le bois sombre et les nuits solitaires
\nL\u2019\u00e9cume du plaisir aux larmes des tourments.<\/p>\n
\u00d4 vierges, \u00f4 d\u00e9mons, \u00f4 monstres, \u00f4 martyres,
\nDe la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 grands esprits contempteurs,
\nChercheuses d\u2019infini, d\u00e9votes et satyres,
\nTant\u00f4t pleines de cris, tant\u00f4t pleines de pleurs,<\/p>\n
Vous que dans votre enfer mon \u00e2me a poursuivies,
\nPauvres s\u0153urs, je vous aime autant que je vous plains,
\nPour vos mornes douleurs, vos soifs inassouvies,
\nEt les urnes d\u2019amours dont vos grands c\u0153urs sont pleins !<\/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":[],"poete":[190],"class_list":["post-1907","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-186","poems-book-les-fleurs-du-mal","poete-charles-baudelaire"],"yoast_head":"\n
