About the Book

Excerpt from Th��tre, Vol. 1: Lucr�ce Borgia, Marion Delorme, Marie Tudor, la Esmeralda, Ruy Blas

On lui pardonnera de ne point insister davantage sur le c�t� purement esth�tique de son ouvrage. Il est tout un nu tre ordre d'id�es, non moins hautes selon lui, qu'il voudrait avoir le loisir de remuer et d'approfondir a l'occasion de cette pi�ce de Lucr�ce Borgia. A ses yeux, il y a beaucoup de questions sociales dans les questions litt�raires, et toute oeuvre est une action. Voil� le sujet sur lequel il s'�tendait volontiers, si l'espace et le temps ne lui manquaient. Le th��tre, on ne saurait trop le r�p�ter, a de nos jours une importance immense, et qui tend � s'accroitre sans cesse avec la civilisation m�me. L� th��tre est une tribune. Le th��tre est une chaire. Le th��tre parle fort et parle haut. Lorsque Corneille dit Pour etre plus qu'un roi, tu te crois quelque chose Corneille c'est Mirabeau. Quand Shakspeare dit: To die, to sleep, Shakspeare c'est Bossuet.

L'auteur de ce drame sait combien c'est une grande et s�rieuse chose que le th��tre. Il sait que le drame, sans sortir des limites impartiales de l'art, a une mission natio nale, une mission sociale, une mission humaine. Quand il voit chaque soir ce peuple si intelligent et si avanc�, qui a fait de Paris la cit� centrale du progr�s, s'entasser en foule devant un rideau que sa pens�e � lui, ch_�tif po�te, va sou lever le moment d'apr�s, il sent combien il est peu de chose, lui, devant tant d'attente et de curiosit�; il sent que, si son talent n'est rien, il faut que sa probit� soit tout; il s 1nterroge avec s�v�rit� et recueillement sur la port�e phi los0phique de son oeuvre, car il se sait responsable, et-il ne veut pas que cette foule puisse lui demander compte un jour de ce qu'il lui aura enseign�. Le po�te aussi a charge d'�mes. Il ne faut pas que la multitude sorte du th��tresans emporter avec elle quelque moralit� aust�re et pro fonde. Aussi esp�re - t-il bien, Dieu aidant, ne d�velopper jamais sur la sc�ne (du moins tant que dureront les temps s�rieux o� nous sommes) que des choses pleines de le�ons et de conseils. Il fera toujours apparaitre volontiers le cer cueil dans la salle du ban net, la pri�re des morts � tra vers les refrains de l'orgie, a cagoule � c�t� du masque. Ll laissera quelquefois le carnaval d�braill� chanter � tue t�te sur l'avant-sc�ne; mais il lui criera du fond du th�� tre Memento quia pulvis es. Il sait bien que l'art seul, l'art pur, l'art proprement dit, n'exige pas tout cela du po�te; mais il pense qu'au th��tre surtout il ne suffit pas de remplir seulement les conditions de l'art. Et, quant aux plaies et aux mis�res de l'humanit�, toutes les fois qu'il les �talera dans le drame, il t�chera de jeter surce que ces nudit�s - l� auraient de trop odieux le voile d'une id�e con solante et grave. Il ne mettra pas Marion de Lorme sur la sc�ne sans purifier la courtisane avec un peu d'amour; il donnera Triboulet le difforme un coeur de p�re; il don nera a Lucr�ce la monstrueuse des entrailles de m�re. Et, de cette fa�on, sa conscience se reposera du moins tran quille �l sereine sur son oeuvre. Le drame qu'il r�ve et qu'il tente de r�aliser pourra toucher a tout sans se souil ler a rien. Faites circuler dans tout une pens�e morale et compatissante, et il n'y a plus rien de difforme ni de re poussant. A la chose la plus hideuse m�lez une id�e reli gieuse, elle deviendra sainte et pure. Attachez Dieu au gi bet. Vous avez la croix.
