Sample text
Les villes sont détruites, « ç’a été des éclairs, une secousse et une grande grêle… � Et on a vu un grand signe dans le ciel, une femme vêtue de soleil, avec la lune sous ses pieds et une couronne de douze étoiles sur sa tête. � Elle est enceinte, elle crie dans les douleurs, en tourments d’enfanter. » J’ai refermé le livre de l’Apocalypse, l’ai violemment repoussé et il a chu sur le sol de dalles rouges. 6 Rouge a été la couleur de l’aube, au terme de cette nuit-là. J’ai quitté l’hôtel afin de m’arracher aux marécages de l’insomnie, mais, tout à coup, je me suis affolé.
Il incitait les hommes à s’entr’égorger, à s’entre-dévorer. Il rassemblait les peuples afin qu’ils s’anéantissent dans une guerre toujours recommencée. Leur nombre était comme le sable de la mer. Ils envahissaient toute la largeur de la terre. Ils cernaient le camp des saints et la ville aimée. Ainsi prophétisait le livre de l’Apocalypse de Jean. Je l’ai rouvert en marchant vers la chapelle. » Mais Déméter avait été égorgé, mais Marie la décharnée comme mon père l’asphyxié arboraient le regard des morts.
Je m’étais moqué des prophéties de l’Apocalypse et, après avoir répété qu’il fallait « écraser l’Infâme », cette religion qui maintenait l’homme dans l’ignorance, j’avais tremblé et m’étais agenouillé, soumis et repentant. L’angoisse m’a étreint : Dieu qui, selon l’Apocalypse, « scrutait les reins et les cœurs », m’avait-Il pardonné ? J’ai guetté Son verdict, craint Sa condamnation. Mais je n’ai été ni frappé par la foudre ni jeté dans l’étang de feu et de soufre, là où étaient précipités ceux qui avaient blasphémé, rejoint la cohorte du Diable, obéi à la Bête.
