Je suis, dans notre temps de chocs et de fureurs,
\nBelluaire, et j\u2019ai fait la guerre aux empereurs ;
\nJ\u2019ai combattu la foule immonde des Sodomes,
\nDes millions de flots et des millions d\u2019hommes
\nOnt rugi contre moi sans me faire c\u00e9der ;
\nTout le gouffre est venu m\u2019attaquer et gronder,<\/p>\n
Et j\u2019ai livr\u00e9 bataille aux vagues \u00e9cumantes,
\nEt sous l\u2019\u00e9norme assaut de l\u2019ombre et des tourmentes
\nJe n\u2019ai pas plus courb\u00e9 la t\u00eate qu\u2019un \u00e9cueil ;
\nJe ne suis pas de ceux qu\u2019effraie un ciel en deuil,
\nEt qui, n\u2019osant sonder les styx et les avernes,
\nTremblent devant la bouche obscure des cavernes ;
\nQuand les tyrans lan\u00e7aient sur nous, du haut des airs,
\nLeur noir tonnerre ayant des crimes pour \u00e9clairs,
\nJ\u2019ai jet\u00e9 mon vers sombre \u00e0 ces passants sinistres ;
\nJ\u2019ai tra\u00een\u00e9 tous les rois avec tous leurs ministres,
\nTous les faux dieux avec tous les principes faux,
\nTous les tr\u00f4nes li\u00e9s \u00e0 tous les \u00e9chafauds,
\nL\u2019erreur, le glaive inf\u00e2me et le sceptre sublime,
\nJ\u2019ai tra\u00een\u00e9 tout cela p\u00eale-m\u00eale \u00e0 l\u2019ab\u00eeme ;
\nJ\u2019ai devant les c\u00e9sars, les princes, les g\u00e9ants
\nDe la force debout sur l\u2019amas des n\u00e9ants,
\nDevant tous ceux que l\u2019homme adore, ex\u00e8cre, encense,
\nDevant les Jupiters de la toute-puissance,
\n\u00c9t\u00e9 quarante ans fier, indompt\u00e9, triomphant ;
\nEt me voil\u00e0 vaincu par un petit enfant.<\/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":[443],"poems-book":[447],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[206],"class_list":["post-9678","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-443","poems-book-lart-detre-grand-pere","poete-victor-hugo"],"yoast_head":"\n
