Hommage (Toute Aurore Même Gourde)

Stéphane Mallarmé

Toute Aurore même gourde
À crisper un poing obscur
Contre des clairons d’azur
Embouchés par cette sourde

A le pâtre avec la gourde
Jointe au bâton frappant dur
Le long de son pas futur
Tant que la source ample sourde

Par avance ainsi tu vis
O solitaire Puvis
De Chavannes
        jamais seul

De conduire le temps boire
À la nymphe sans linceul
Que lui découvre ta Gloire.
