\nSamuel But\u00adler (1835\u200a\u2013\u200a1902), dont le chef-d\u2019\u0153uvre est cer\u00adtai\u00adne\u00adment The Way of all flesh<\/em> (Ain\u00adsi va toute chair<\/em>), roman que l\u2019on peut qua\u00adli\u00adfier d\u2019in\u00addi\u00advi\u00addua\u00adliste, et qui \u00e9cri\u00advit encore Erew\u00adhon<\/em> (Nulle part, en ana\u00adgramme), de savou\u00adreux Note-books<\/em> (Car\u00adnets de notes<\/em>) et maints autres ouvrages, notam\u00adment de phi\u00adlo\u00adso\u00adphie bio\u00adlo\u00adgique en d\u00e9sac\u00adcord avec les th\u00e9o\u00adries qui pr\u00e9\u00adva\u00adlaient en son temps,\u2014 Samuel But\u00adler com\u00adpo\u00adsa peu de po\u00e8mes. Il pen\u00adsait d\u2019ailleurs qu\u2019\u00e9\u00adcrire en vers \u00e9tait la der\u00adni\u00e8re chose qu\u2019un po\u00e8te d\u00fbt faire. On fait grand cas, par\u00admi les But\u00adle\u00adriens, du \u00ab Psalm of Mont\u00adr\u00e9al \u00bb, qu\u2019il \u00e9cri\u00advit au Cana\u00adda et qui repo\u00adse\u00adrait sur un fait r\u00e9el\u00adle\u00adment arri\u00adv\u00e9. On a vou\u00adlu y voir, d\u2019autre-part, une plainte sym\u00adbo\u00adlique de l\u2019au\u00adteur contre la m\u00e9con\u00adnais\u00adsance de son \u0153uvre de la part de ses contem\u00adpo\u00adrains. Quoique \u00e0 la tra\u00adduc\u00adtion il perde de son rythme et de sa musique, ce po\u00e8me, au point de vue de la bioes\u00adth\u00e9\u00adtique, ne manque pas d\u2019in\u00adt\u00e9\u00adr\u00eat. Il stig\u00adma\u00adtise spi\u00adri\u00adtuel\u00adle\u00adment le b\u00e9o\u00adtisme en face de la beau\u00adt\u00e9 et c\u2019est un par\u00adfait sp\u00e9\u00adci\u00admen de l\u2019hu\u00admour anglais.

Psaume de Montr\u00e9al<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rel\u00e9\u00adgu\u00e9 en un gre\u00adnier de Montr\u00e9al,
\n
Le Dis\u00adco\u00adbole debout tourne sa face au mur.
\n
Pous\u00adsi\u00e9\u00adreuse, cou\u00adverte de toiles d\u2019a\u00adrai\u00adgn\u00e9es, muti\u00adl\u00e9e, r\u00e9duite \u00e0 n\u00e9ant,
\n
La Beau\u00adt\u00e9 crie et nul ne regarde.
\n
O Dieu ! O Montr\u00e9al ! <\/p>\n

Beau le jour comme la nuit, beau en \u00e9t\u00e9 comme en hiver,
\n
Intact ou muti\u00adl\u00e9 tou\u00adjours aus\u00adsi beau,
\n
Il pr\u00eache l\u2019\u00e9\u00advan\u00adgile de gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des peaux de hiboux
\n
Et \u00e0 un empailleur de hiboux canadiens.
\n
O Dieu ! O Montr\u00e9al ! <\/p>\n

Quand je le vis, indi\u00adgn\u00e9, je m\u2019\u00e9\u00adcriai : \u00ab O Discobole,
\n
Beau Dis\u00adco\u00adbole, prince et par\u00admi les dieux et par\u00admi les hommes,
\n
Com\u00adment \u00e9chouas-tu ici et qu\u2019y fais-tu, Discobole,
\n
Pr\u00ea\u00adchant vai\u00adne\u00adment l\u2019\u00e9\u00advan\u00adgile aux peaux de hiboux ? \u00bb
\n
O Dieu ! O Montr\u00e9al !<\/p>\n

Puis je me tour\u00adnai vers l\u2019homme aux peaux et l\u2019in\u00adter\u00adpel\u00adlai : \u00ab O homme aux peaux,
\n
Pour\u00adquoi agis-tu de la sorte, humi\u00adliant la beau\u00adt\u00e9 du Discobole ? \u00bb
\n
Mais le Sei\u00adgneur avait endur\u00adci le c\u0153ur de l\u2019homme aux peaux
\n
Et il me r\u00e9pon\u00addit : \u00ab Mon beau-fr\u00e8re est le mer\u00adcier de M. Spurgeon. \u00bb
\n
O Dieu ! O Montr\u00e9al ! <\/p>\n

Alors je lui dis : \u00ab O beau-fr\u00e8re du mer\u00adcier de M. Spurgeon,
\n
Qui empailles les peaux des hiboux canadiens,
\n
Tu appelles les pan\u00adta\u00adlons cale\u00ad\u00e7ons alors que je les nomme pantalons.
\n
Tu vis donc dans les tour\u00adments de l\u2019En\u00adfer ? Que le Sei\u00adgneur ait piti\u00e9 de toi ! \u00bb
\n
O Dieu ! O Montr\u00e9al ! <\/p>\n

\u00ab Pr\u00e9\u00adf\u00e8res-tu l\u2019\u00e9\u00advan\u00adgile de Mont\u00adr\u00e9al \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9\u00advan\u00adgile d\u2019Hellas,
\n
L\u2019\u00e9\u00advan\u00adgile de ta paren\u00adt\u00e9 avec la mer\u00adce\u00adrie de M. Spur\u00adgeon \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9\u00advan\u00adgile du Discobole ? \u00bb
\n
Mais il n\u2019en blas\u00adph\u00e9\u00adma pas moins en r\u00e9pon\u00addant dignement :
\n
\u00ab Le Dis\u00adco\u00adbole n\u2019a pas d\u2019\u00e9vangile,
\n
Mais mon beau-fr\u00e8re est le mer\u00adcier de M. Spurgeon. \u00bb
\n
O Dieu ! O Montr\u00e9al !<\/p>\n
