La Folie
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
La tarentule du chaos
Guette la raison qu’elle amorce.
L’Esprit marche avec une entorse
Et roule avec d’affreux cahots.
Entendez hurler les manchots
De la camisole de force !
La tarentule du chaos
Guette la Raison qu’elle amorce.
Aussi la Mort dans ses caveaux
Rit-elle à se casser le torse,
Devant la trame obscure et torse
Que file dans tous les cerveaux
La tarentule du chaos.
