About the Book

" ... Et si notre langue n'est si copieuse et riche que la grecque ou latine, cela ne doit être imputé au défaut d'icelle, comme si d'elle-même elle ne pouvait jamais être sinon pauvre et stérile: mais bien on le doit attribuer à l'ignorance de nos majeurs, qui, ayant (comme dit quelqu'un, parlant des anciens Romains) en plus grande recommandation le bien faire, que le bien dire, et mieux aimant laisser à leur postérité les exemples de vertu que des préceptes, se sont privés de la gloire de leurs bienfaits, et nous du fruit de l'imitation d'iceux: et par même moyen nous ont laissé notre langue si pauvre et nue qu'elle a besoin des ornements, et (s'il faut ainsi parler) des plumes d'autrui. Mais qui voudrait dire que la grecque et romaine eussent toujours été en l'excellence qu'on les a vues du temps d'Homère et de Démosthène, de Virgile et de Cicéron ? et si ces auteurs eussent jugé que jamais, pour quelque diligence et culture qu'on y eût pu faire, elles n'eussent su produire plus grand fruit, se fussent-ils tant efforcés de les mettre au point où nous les voyons maintenant ? Ainsi puis-je dire de notre langue, qui commence encore à fleurir sans fructifier, ou plutôt, comme une plante et vergette, n'a point encore fleuri, tant s'en faut qu'elle ait apporté tout le fruit qu'elle pourrait bien produire..."
About the Author: Joachim Du Bellay ou Joachim du Bellay est un poète français né vers 1522 à Liré en Anjou et mort le 1er janvier 1560 à Paris.
