humbles particularités qui faisaient individuelle la fenêtre de la
chambre de ma tante Léonie, sur la rue de l'Oiseau, son asymétrie à
cause de la distance inégale entre les deux fenêtres voisines, la
hauteur excessive de son appui de bois, et la barre coudée qui servait
à ouvrir les volets, les deux pans de satin bleu et glacé qu'une
embrasse divisait et retenait écartés, l'équivalent de tout cela
existait à cet Hôtel de Venise où j'entendais aussi ces mots si
particuliers, si éloquents qui nous font reconnaître de loin la
demeure où nous rentrons déjeuner, et plus tard restent dans notre
souvenir comme un
témoignage
que pendant un certain temps cette demeure
fut la nôtre; mais le soin de les dire était, à Venise, dévolu non
comme il l'était à Combray, et comme il l'est un peu partout, aux
choses les plus simples, voire les plus laides, mais à l'ogive encore
à demi-arabe d'une façade qui est reproduite dans tous les musées de
moulages et tous les livres d'art illustrés, comme un des
chefs-d'œuvre de l'architecture domestique au Moyen Âge; de bien loin
et quand j'avais à peine dépassé Saint-Georges Majeur, j'apercevais
cette ogive qui m'avait vu, et l'élan de ses arcs brisés ajoutait à
son sourire de bienvenue la distinction d'un regard plus élevé,

No it is bought with the price
Of all that a man hath his house his wife his children
Wisdom is sold in the
desolate
market where none come to buy
And in the witherd field where the farmer plows for bread in vain
It is an easy thing to triumph in the summers sun
And in the vintage & to sing on the waggon loaded with corn
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted
To speak the laws of prudence to the houseless wanderer

To listen to the hungry ravens cry in wintry season
When the red blood is filld with wine & with the marrow of lambs
It is an easy thing to laugh at wrathful elements
To hear the dog howl at the wintry door, the ox in the slaughter house moan
To see a god on every wind & a blessing on every blast
To hear sounds of love in the thunder storm that destroys our enemies house
To rejoice in the blight that covers his field, & the sickness that cuts off his children
While our olive & vine sing & laugh round our door & our children bring fruits & flowers
Then the groan & the dolor are quite forgotten & the slave grinding at the mill
And the captive in chains & the poor in the prison, & the soldier in the field
When the shatterd bone hath laid him groaning among the happier dead
It is an easy thing to rejoice in the tents of prosperity
Thus could I sing & thus rejoice, but it is not so with me!

frequently
sung in the theatre
with accompanying dance (Trist.
