Extrait: ...fut trouvee avant qu'il fut acheve dans toutes ses parties. Il essuya dedaigneusement l'averse des premiers boulets de fer et de pierre; mais, au commencement du XVIIe siecle, le feu de trente pieces de canon fit rapidement breche dans ses murs; ses tours furent eventrees. Pour nous, que les progres de la civilisation ont familiarises avec le canon Krupp, les tours de Pierrefonds ont un air de naivete. Elles portent chacune sur le flanc la figure d'un preux. Il y a huit tours qui sont celles de Charlemagne, de Cesar, d'Artus, d'Alexandre, de Godefroy de Bouillon, de Josue, d'Hector et de Judas Macchabee. Ces huit preux, d'ages et de pays divers, mais tous de bonne maison et bons chevaliers, portent le meme costume, qui est le costume des hommes d'armes du commencement du XVe siecle. Ils ressemblent, dans leur encadrement de feuilles de houx, aux figures d'un vieux jeu de cartes. Le maitre imagier qui les tailla n'avait pas le moindre souci de la couleur locale. Il ne fit point difficulte d'habiller Hector de Troie comme Godefroy de Bouillon, et Godefroy de Bouillon comme le duc Louis d'Orleans. En ce temps-la, M. le docteur Schliemann ne recherchait point dans la plaine ou fut Troie les armes des cinquante fils de Priam. On n'etait point archeologue et on ne se cassait point la tete a decouvrir comment vivaient les hommes d'autrefois. Ce souci est propre a notre siecle. Nous voulons montrer Hector en knemides et donner a tous les personnages de la legende et de l'histoire leur vrai caractere. L'ambition, sans doute, est grande et genereuse. Je l'ai moi-meme ressentie apres les maitres. Et aujourd'hui encore j'admire infiniment les talents puissants qui s'efforcent de ressusciter le passe dans la poesie et dans l'art. On pourrait se demander, toutefois, s'il est possible de reussir completement dans une telle tentative et si notre connaissance du passe est suffisante a le faire renaitre avec ses formes, ...
