Synopsis
Excerpt from Selections From Diderot: Edited With Introduction And Notes
Qu'est - cc qu'il faut au poète? Est-ce une nature brute ou cultivée, paisible ou troublée? Préférera-t-il la beauté d'un jour pur et serein à l'horreur d'une nuit obscure, où le sifflement interrompu des vents se mêle par intervalles au murmure sourd et continu d'un tonnerre éloigné, et où il voit l'éclair allumer le ciel sur sa tête? Préférera - t-il le spectacle d'une mer tranquille à celui des flots agités? Le muet et froid aspect d'un palais, à la promenade parmi des ruines? Un édifice construit, un espace planté de la main des hommes, au touñu2 d'une antique forêt, au creux ignoré d'une roche déserte? Des nappes d'eau, des bassins, des cascades, à la vue d'une cataracte qui se brise en tombant à travers des rochers, et dont le bruit se fait entendre au loin du berger qui a conduit son troupeau dans la montagne, et qui l'écoute avec effroi?
