Théophile Gautier: Apollonie

gautiertheophile 01

Théophile Gautier

(1811-1872)

 

Apollonie

 

J’aime ton nom d’Apollonie,

Echo grec du sacré vallon,

Qui, dans sa robuste harmonie,

Te baptise soeur d’Apollon.

 

Sur la lyre au plectre d’ivoire,

Ce nom splendide et souverain,

Beau comme l’amour et la gloire,

Prend des résonances d’airain.

 

Classique, il fait plonger les Elfes

Au fond de leur lac allemand,

Et seule la Pythie à Delphes

Pourrait le porter dignement,

 

Quand relevant sa robe antique

Elle s’assoit au trépied d’or,

Et dans sa pose fatidique

Attend le dieu qui tarde encor.
