ARTHUR RIMBAUD: DÉMOCRATIE

Rimbaud_a13

Arthur Rimbaud
(1854-1891)

Démocratie

« Le drapeau va au paysage immonde, et notre patois étouffe le tambour.

« Aux centres nous alimenterons la plus cynique prostitution. Nous massacrerons les révoltes logiques.

« Aux pays poivrés et détrempés ! — au service des plus monstrueuses exploitations industrielles ou militaires.

« Au revoir ici, n’importe où. Conscrits du bon vouloir, nous aurons la philosophie féroce ; ignorants pour la science, roués pour le confort ; la crevaison pour le monde qui va. C’est la vraie marche. En avant, route ! »
