Synopsis
L'auteur de ce drame ecrivait il y a peu de semaines a propos d'un poete mort avant l'age: «...Dans ce moment de melee et de tourmente litteraire, qui faut-il plaindre, ceux qui meurent ou ceux qui combattent? Sans doute, il est triste de voir un poete de vingt ans qui s'en va, une lyre qui se brise, un avenir qui s'evanouit; mais n'est-ce pas quelque chose aussi que le repos? N'est-il pas permis a ceux autour desquels s'amassent incessamment calomnies, injures, haines, jalousies, sourdes menees, basses trahisons; hommes loyaux auxquels on fait une guerre deloyale; hommes devoues qui ne voudraient enfin que doter le pays d'une liberte de plus, celle de l'art, celle de l'intelligence; hommes laborieux qui poursuivent paisiblement leur oeuvre de conscience, en proie d'un cote a de viles machinations de censure et de police, en butte de l'autre, trop souvent, a l'ingratitude des esprits memes pour lesquels ils travaillent; ne leur est-il pas permis de retourner quelquefois la tete avec envie vers ceux qui sont tombes derriere eux et qui dorment dans le tombeau? Invideo, disait Luther dans le cimetiere de Worms, invideo, quia quiescunt.
