Non, je dirai seulement au tribunal que si, à propos de sa description de la voiture dans ''[[la Double méprise]],'' M. Mérimée était poursuivi, il serait immédiatement acquitté. On ne verrait dans son livre qu’une œuvre d’art, de grandes beautés littéraires. On ne le condamnerait pas plus qu’on ne condamne les peintres ou les statuaires qui ne se contentent pas de traduire toute la beauté du corps, mais toutes les ardeurs, toutes les passions. Je n’en suis pas là ; je vous demande de reconnaître que M. Flaubert n’a pas chargé ses images, et qu’il n’a fait qu’une chose : toucher de la main la plus ferme la scène de la dégradation. À chaque ligne de son livre il fait ressortir la désillusion, et au lieu de terminer par quelque chose de gracieux, il s’attache à nous montrer cette femme arrivant, après le mépris, l’abandon, la ruine de sa maison, à la mort la plus épouvantable. En un mot, je ne puis que répéter ce que j’ai dit en commençant la plaidoirie, que M. Flaubert est l’auteur d’un bon livre, d’un livre qui est l’excitation à la vertu par l’horreur du vice." | + | |
