Immobile auprès d’elle, Geneviève tenait à la main un rameau que Stéphanie était sans doute allée détacher de la plus haute cime d’un peuplier, et l’idiote agitait doucement ce feuillage au-dessus de sa compagne endormie, pour chasser les mouches et fraîchir l’atmosphère.
Il tombait de l’or des pommiers féconds où riaient les pommes rouges au temps heureux ; il tombait de l’or des peupliers jaillissants dont les feuilles sont des disques qui tremblent, mais un or terni sans le secours lumineux du soleil.
