Analysis of L’Impur Et Fier Epoux
Andre Marie de Chenier 1762 (Constantinople) – 1794 (Paris)
L'impur et fier époux que la chèvre désire
Baisse le front, se dresse et cherche le satyre.
Le satyre, averti de cette inimitié,
Affermit sur le sol la corne de son pié;
Et leurs obliques fronts, lancés tous deux ensemble,
Se choquent; l'air frémit, le bois s'agite et tremble.
