66 "Après avoir achevé sa toilette qui fut sommaire, il passa une grande heure accoudé à sa fenêtre. La campagne venait de s'eveiller comme lui, le jour naissant la regardait d'un œil doux; elle était heureuse de refaire amitié avec la lumière. Ses gazons trempés de rosée exhalaient une fraîcheur délicieuse. La Limourde semblait coqueter avec ses bords, que ses eaux luisantes frôlaient amoureusement. De hauts peupliers, rangés en file rayaient de leurs ombres transparentes la blancheur d'un champ de sarrasin fleuri; sur les coteaux, des bruyères faisaient çà et là des taches roses : des fumées montaient

lentement dans l'air, oscillant à droite et à ganche comme si elles avaient dû rapprendre leur chemin."

"Ce n'est pas que j'approuve, en un sujet chrétien, Un auteur follement idolâtre et païen :

Mais, dans une profane et riante peinture,
De n'oser de la fable employer la figure;
De chasser les tritons de l'empire des eaux;
D'ôter à Pan sa flûte, aux Parques leurs ciseaux;
D'empêcher que Caron, dans la fatale barque,
Ainsi que le berger ne passe le monarque;
C'est d'un scrupule vain s'alarmer sottement,
Et vouloir aux lecteurs plaire sans agrément."
