Avons-nous donc commis une action étrange ?
Explique, si tu peux, mon trouble et mon effroi
Je frissonne de peur quand tu me dis: "Mon ange !"
Et cependant je sens ma bouche aller vers toi.
Ne me regarde pas ainsi, toi, ma pensée !
Toi que j'aime à jamais, ma soeur d'élection,
Quand même tu serais une embûche dressée
Et le commencement de ma perdition !
Quand même tu serais une embûche dressée
Et le commencement de ma perdition !
Maudit soit à jamais le rêveur inutile
Qui voulut le premier, dans sa stupidité,
S'éprenant d'un problème insoluble et stérile,
Aux choses de l'amour mêler l'honnêteté !
Celui qui veut unir dans un accord mystique
L'ombre avec la chaleur, la nuit avec le jour,
Ne chauffera jamais son corps paralytique
À ce rouge soleil que l'on nomme l'amour !
On ne peut ici-bas contenter qu'un seul maître !
Mais l'enfant, épanchant une immense douleur,
Cria soudain : "Je sens s'élargir dans mon être
Un abîme béant ; cet abîme est mon coeur!"
Brûlant comme un volcan, profond comme le vide !
Rien ne rassasiera ce monstre gémissant
Et ne rafraîchira la soif de l'Euménide
Qui, la torche à la main, le brûle jusqu'au sang
Que nos rideaux fermés nous séparent du monde,
Et que la lassitude amène le repos !
Je veux m'anéantir dans ta gorge profonde
Et trouver sur ton sein la fraîcheur des tombeaux !"
Descendez, descendez, lamentables victimes,
Descendez le chemin de l'enfer éternel !
Plongez au plus profond du gouffre, où tous les crimes
Flagellés par un vent qui ne vient pas du ciel
Jamais un rayon frais n'éclaira vos cavernes ;
Par les fentes des murs des miasmes fiévreux
Filtrent en s'enflammant ainsi que des lanternes
Et pénètrent vos corps de leurs parfums affreux
"Hippolyte, cher coeur, que dis-tu de ces choses ?
Comprends-tu maintenant qu'il ne faut pas offrir
L'holocauste sacré de tes premières roses
Aux souffles violents qui pourraient les flétrir ?
Hippolyte, Ô ma soeur! Tourne donc ton visage,
Toi, mon âme et mon tout et ma moitié,
Tourne vers moi tes yeux pleins d'azur et d'étoiles !
Pour un de ces regards charmants, baume divin,
Des plaisirs plus obscurs je lèverai les voiles,
Et je m'endormirai dans un rêve sans fin !
