La Neige
Henri de Regnier 1864 (Honfleur) – 1936 (Paris)
La neige astucieuse et le silence adroit
Ont immobilisé au bout de l’avenue
Vulcain jaloux et Mars surpris et Vénus nue.
La Déesse est couchée et l’Amant se tient droit.
Les blancs flocons qui emmaillent le marbre froid
Ont assourdi le guet, le pas et la venue
Et semé des poils blancs dans la barbe chenue
De l’Époux outragé de sa honte qu’il voit ;
Et tous deux à jamais pris aux ruses du piège
Dans l’enchevêtrement du filet de la neige
Restent, couple captif autour de qui Vulcain,
Farouche et les bras nus sous le gel et le givre,
A l’enclume de bronze et d’un ciseau d’airain,
Martèle un parc d’argent et forge un ciel de cuivre.
