Les Baisers / Epigrammes
by Jean Second, Michel Marulle, edited and translated by Olivier Sers
La Renaissance latine est une mine de joyaux poetiques, Atlantide oubliee , trop oubliee parce que trop pillee par les poetes francais de la Pleiade, Ronsard en tete. En sont presentes ici deux des poetes principaux. Jean Second, flamand mort a Tournai en 1536 a vingt-quatre ans, est le seul erotique veritable de la langue latine. Virtuose du verbe et de l’image, il a consacre les dix-neuf poemes de ses Baisers, qui enchanterent Montaigne, Spinoza, Mirabeau et Goethe, a celebrer les levres d’une Espagnole blonde de Tolede: Neera, son dernier grand amour. Michel Marulle, soldat de fortune mort sous les armes onze ans avant la naissance de Jean Second, appartient comme son meilleur ami Jacopo Sannazaro et son ennemi intime Ange Politien a la generation des poetes-philologues italiens de la seconde moitie du xve siecle. La plupart des vingt-quatre epigrammes amoureuses ici presentees s’adressent a une grande dame, autre Neera , dont l’incognito est perce pour la premiere fois. La vingt-cinquieme est une invective vengeresse contre Ange Politien. Dix-sept de ces pieces n’ont jamais ete traduites en francais.
