Story
"Polyeucte martyr" est une tragédie de Pierre Corneille représentée en 1641 au Théâtre du Marais. Elle est inspirée par le martyre de Polyeucte de Mélitène sous le règne de Valérien en 259. C'est l'une des dernières tragédies classiques du XVIIe siècle à sujet religieux.
L'action de cette tragédie historique se déroule à Mélitène, en Arménie romaine, au IIIe siècle après Jésus-Christ, lors de la persécution des chrétiens par l'empereur romain Decius. Corneille évoque les conséquences de la conversion au christianisme de Polyeucte.-

Story
Le notaire procéda solennellement à la lecture du contrat. Quand tous eurent signé, on déboucha les bouteilles et on but, abondamment, à la gloire de Madeleine et à la prospérité de la nouvelle troupe. "Nous la nommons l'Illustre Théâtre", dit Beys, lyrique. "À l'heureux destin de l'Illustre Théâtre !", reprit-on en trinquant une fois de plus. Madeleine et Jean-Baptiste choquaient leur verre avec une secrète solennité : ce contrat, c'était un peu leurs épousailles.

Story
Charles Baudelaire est né le 9 avril 1821 à Paris ; il y mourut le 31 août 1867, emporté par une atroce maladie, avant même d'atteindre à sa cinquantième année. Mais à ce corps misérable survécut un génie qui continue d'illuminer la poésie d'une sombre lumière. Avec Baudelaire finit le romantisme, et ce "frisson nouveau" qu'il apporta avec lui et dont Victor Hugo le félicitait, inaugure la poésie moderne.

Story
Gérard Labrunie dit Gérard de Nerval, est né le 22 mai 1808, à Paris. Il décida d'y terminer volontairement ses jours et on le retrouva pendu, rue de la Vieille Lanterne, à l'aube du 26 janvier 1855. L'existence entière de Nerval fut dominée par l'obsession d'une autre vie dont seuls les rêves nous rendent compte. Aurélia est l'adorable créature surgie de ce monde invisible. Comme il l'a dit à Alexandre Dumas, Nerval était doué de la faculté de s'identifier à des personnages réels ou légendaires.

Story
Paul Verlaine est né à Metz, le 30 mars 1844. Il mourut à Paris le 8 janvier 1895 après avoir, dans les dernières années de sa vie, erré d'un hôpital à l'autre, en proie aux misères de l'alcool. L'Académie, de son vivant, lui avait refusé une immortalité que ce poète maudit eut bientôt conquise, une fois disparu. Paul Verlaine nous a laissé quelques-uns des poèmes les plus fameux de la littérature française : "Le Colloque sentimental", "Il pleure dans mon cœur", "Chanson d'automne", "Le ciel est par-dessus le toit".

Story
Paul Valéry est né à Sète le 30 octobre 1871 ; il est mort à Paris le 19 juillet 1945. Essayiste et poète, il est aussi exceptionnel ici que là. C'est un écrivain qui méprise les prestiges faciles de la littérature : l'inconscience bavarde et la satisfaction de parler de soi. Poète, Valéry l'est comme rarement on le fut : froidement. Un poème est pour lui une savante machine verbale plutôt destinée à provoquer une émotion qu'à exposer celle de l'auteur.

Story
Né en 1432 et mort à une date incertaine, après 1463, François Villon est le poète du Moyen Âge finissant. Tout en continuant à se servir des formes poétiques traditionnelles, il inaugure une nouvelle attitude en poésie, inspirée à la fois par un esprit populaire et par le malheur et l'ironie d'une conscience individuelle. Dans le "Lais" et le "Testament", Villon nous fait ainsi une confidence intime et réaliste ; il nous parle de lui et chante sa propre destinée, comme aucun poète ne l'avait encore fait ; il donne aux gens du menu peuple le prestige des héros d'une "Chanson de Geste".

Story
Mort de tuberculose à vingt-cinq ans, John Keats eut une carrière poétique d'une fulgurante brièveté, suffisamment intense pour faire de lui un des poètes romantiques anglais les plus importants de sa génération. Nourries de la perte d'un amour premier dont Keats ne put jamais faire le deuil, ses écritures se placent sous le soleil noir de la Mélancolie, que la prescience de la mort exacerbe jusqu'à toucher au sublime. Une immense richesse symbolique transparaît sous la lumière de ses accents intemporels.

Story
Walt Whitman : ce poète et humaniste fut à l'origine des plus grandes pages de poésie des temps modernes. Elles eurent pour créateur un solitaire américain poussé comme un gratte-ciel dans un désert inculte de maisons à bas étages. Whitman est considéré comme un des deux piliers de la poésie américaine du XIXe siècle, avec Emily Dickinson. Sa voix résolument américaine suscite des émotions vives grâce au vers libre et à la force hypnotique de la répétition ; il clame sensualité et liberté dans une langue populaire, et chaque poème est une leçon de vie, un incontournable de la poésie telle qu'on ne l'apprend pas à l'école.

Victor Hugo is one of the best-known French writers, and is part of the greatest literary figures of all time. His poetry made him famous very early, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest lyric poets when he was only 20 years old. He was also a novelist and a dramatist, and furthered the cause of Romanticism, this exalted artistic movement which toyed with Sublime and soared on the winds of emotion.

Der Dichter selbst verspricht: "Wir werden sicheren Liebesgenuss und erlaubte Heimlichkeiten besingen, und in meinem Gedicht wird kein Verbrechen gelehrt." Ob das 2000 Jahre alte Lehrgedicht über die Liebe heutzutage noch praktisch hilfreich ist, müssen Jüngere beurteilen. Die ältere Generation mag jedenfalls ihr ästhetisches Vergnügen daran haben. Oder wird man mich schelten, weil ich ein Frauenbild verbreiten helfe, das so gar nicht in unsere Zeit passt (und das ja auch gar nicht meines ist)?
