Tout cela et plus
encore les objets précieux venus à l’église de personnages qui étaient
pour moi presque des personnages de légende (la croix d’or travaillée
disait-on par saint Éloi et donnée par Dagobert, le tombeau des fils
de Louis le Germanique, en porphyre et en cuivre émaillé) à cause de
quoi je m’avançais dans l’église, quand nous gagnions nos chaises,
comme dans une vallée visitée des fées, où le paysan s’émerveille de
voir dans un rocher, dans un arbre, dans une mare, la trace palpable
de leur passage surnaturel, tout cela faisait d’elle pour moi quelque
chose d’entièrement différent du reste de la ville: un édifice
occupant, si l’on peut dire, un espace à quatre dimensions--la
quatrième étant celle du Temps,--déployant à travers les siècles son
vaisseau qui, de travée en travée, de chapelle en chapelle, semblait
vaincre et franchir non pas seulement quelques mètres, mais des
époques successives d’où il sortait victorieux; dérobant le rude et
farouche XIe siècle dans l’épaisseur de ses murs, d’où il
n’apparaissait avec ses lourds cintres bouchés et aveuglés de
grossiers moellons que par la profonde entaille que creusait près du
porche l’escalier du clocher, et, même là, dissimulé par les
gracieuses arcades gothiques qui se pressaient coquettement devant lui
comme de plus grandes sœurs, pour le cacher aux étrangers, se placent
en souriant devant un jeune frère rustre, grognon et mal vêtu; élevant
dans le ciel au-dessus de la Place, sa tour qui avait contemplé saint
Louis et semblait le voir encore; et s’enfonçant avec sa crypte dans
une nuit mérovingienne où, nous guidant à tâtons sous la voûte obscure
et puissamment nervurée comme la membrane d’une immense chauve-souris
de pierre, Théodore et sa sœur nous éclairaient d’une bougie le
tombeau de la petite fille de Sigebert, sur lequel une profonde
valve,--comme la trace d’un fossile,--avait été creusée, disait-on, «par
une lampe de cristal qui, le soir du meurtre de la princesse franque,
s’était détachée d’elle-même des chaînes d’or où elle était suspendue
à la place de
l’actuelle
abside, et, sans que le cristal se brisât,
sans que la flamme s’éteignît, s’était enfoncée dans la pierre et
l’avait fait mollement céder sous elle.

Doth curb the bites of passion.
