Mon portrait
Vous me demandez ...Alexandre POUCHKINE<br />Mon portrait<br />Vous me demandez mon portrait,<br />Mais peint d’après nature ;<br />Mon cher, il sera bientôt fait,<br />Quoique en miniature.<br />Je suis un jeune polisson,<br />Encore dans les classes ;<br />Point sot, je le dis sans façon<br />Et sans fades grimaces<br />Onñ il ne fut de babillard,<br />Ni docteur en Sorbonne<br />Plus ennuyeux et plus braillard,<br />Que moi-même en personne.<br />Ma taille à celles des plus longs<br />Ne peut être égalée ;<br />J’ai le teint frais, les cheveux blonds<br />Et la tête bouclée.<br />J’aime et le monde et son fracas,<br />Je hais la solitude ;<br />J’abhorre et noises, et débats,<br />Et tant soit peu l’étude.<br />Spectacles, bals me plaisent fort,<br />Et d’après ma pensée.<br />Je dirais ce que j’aime encore...<br />Si n’étais au Lycée.<br />Apres cela, mon cher ami,<br />L’on peut me reconnaître:<br />Oui ! tel que le bon Dieu me fit,<br />Je veux toujours paraître.<br />Vrai démon pour l’espièglerie,<br />Vrai singe par sa mine,<br />Beaucoup et trop d’étourderie<br />Ma foi, voilà Pouchkine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664652681107757600.post-86882727828766450232013-03-15T14:28:11.199-04:002013-03-15T14:28:11.199-04:00Valentina, my husband would love to hear all those...Valentina, my husband would love to hear all those complimentary thoughts about the French!
