Analysis of La Délivrance

Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)



Plus d’obsessions vipérines !
Plus de chuchotements pervers !
L’azur des grands cieux découverts
Sourit à mes humeurs chagrines.

De grosses perles purpurines
Scintillent dans les rameaux verts.
Plus d’obsessions vipérines !
Plus de chuchotements pervers !

Le zéphyr, doux à mes narines,
Souffle des parfums dans les airs
Et baise les étangs déserts,
Transparents comme des vitrines
Plus d’obsessions vipérines !
