About This Item
Synopsis
Latelier etait plein de lodeur puissante des roses, et quand une legere brise dete souffla parmi les arbres du jardin, il vint par la porte ouverte, la senteur lourde des lilas et le parfum plus subtil des eglantiers. Dun coin du divan fait de sacs persans sur lequel il etait etendu, fumant, selon sa coutume, dinnombrables cigarettes, lord Henry Wotton pouvait tout juste apercevoir le rayonnement des douces fleurs couleur de miel dun aubour dont les tremblantes branches semblaient a peine pouvoir supporter le poids dune aussi flamboyante splendeur ; et de temps a autre, les ombres fantastiques des oiseaux fuyants passaient sur les longs rideaux de tussor tendus devant la large fenetre, produisant une sorte deffet japonais momentane, le faisant penser a ces peintres de Tokyo a la figure de jade pallide, qui, par le moyen dun art necessairement immobile, tentent dexprimer le sens de la vitesse et du mouvement. Le murmure monotone des abeilles cherchant leur chemin dans les longues herbes non fauchees ou voltigeant autour des poudreuses baies dorees dun chevrefeuille isole, faisait plus oppressant encore ce grand calme. Le sourd grondement de Londres semblait comme la note bourdonnante dun orgue eloigne.
