(à Salvatore Sciarrino, Aspern suite)

.

Il est là notre monde aujourd'hui, posé sur ce final

mosaïque du décalé, masque sur vos visages enfouis.

Il est là notre sourire ouvert sur la plage d'à côté,

discrète, au sable dilué dans l'eau immensément.

Rivage disparu, nous nous sommes éloignés dans le perdu.

Les lignes ne gouvernent plus le regard,

les lignes sur elles-mêmes par crainte de l'espace.

Et pourtant l'évasion aurait dû refléter, refleurir aussi

nous aurions su alors où avancer, où admirer.

Et puis là, faire face, prononcer la fin, suspension.

.

La perte n'existe pas, il n'y a que des éblouissements.

In Emperor Francis Joseph’s day, the number of archdukes and archduchesses was higher than ever before. The various branches of the House of Habsburg blossomed to such an extent throughout the 19th century that the earlier concern about a lack of male heirs under Charles VI evaporated completely. The challenges which Emperor Francis Joseph had to face lay less in securing the succession to the throne than maintaining discipline in the vast family.

The hierarchy was just as strictly defined within the imperial family as it was for the aristocrats at court. At the top stood Emperor Francis Joseph. His word, quite literally, was law. The family statutes of 1839, i.e. the Habsburg family’s own constitution, gave the reigning emperor full and complete power over all the branches of the family, and to a far more profound degree than in the previous centuries. Francis Joseph alone decided upon the place of residence of all his relatives, made all the decisions relating to their own courts and determined the course of education, training and career for all male members of the family (military careers, in general). He was the final instance in dispensing permission to marry, determining the amount of money for an apanage and could even exclude archdukes from the imperial dynasty, should their conduct merit it.

Francis Joseph was very strict, bordering on severe, with his own family. He measured his relatives by the selfsame standards which he applied to himself. His family felt deep respect for Francis Joseph, even as a young emperor, occasionally even fear. The emperor was incorruptible and had not the slightest patience with individual urges for unusual lifestyles, which he viewed as a breakdown of duty, driven as he was by his own inordinate sense of responsibility and willingness to sacrifice everything for the fulfillment of his tasks. A Habsburger had preordained responsibilities which were placed upon one’s shoulders at birth: a dignified representation of the family through irreproachable conduct, support of the ruler in his efforts and responsibilities and, above all else, a life spent serving the dynasty.

Since Emperor Leopold II, Francis Joseph’s great-grandfather, there had been five families in the Habsburg-Lothringen line. The main family branch of the emperor; the Tuscan line (stemming from the former Grand Dukes of Tuscany until 1859); the Rainer line (former Viceroys of Lombardy); the Hungarian Joseph line; the line of the Hungarian Palatinate who lived in Hungary; and the military line of Charles, offspring of the victor of Aspern, Archduke Charles. The position of each family member was determined by the family branch and the nearness to the throne. First came the emperor, his son, his brothers, then the Tuscan family, the Charles family, then the lines of Joseph and Rainer.

“Tombeau du jeune monsieur de Cinq-Mars” d’Olivier Baumont aux Editions Arléa

par Richard Magaldi-Trichet

L'insupportable perte...« Mais à quoi bon la mémoire des faits véritables, si ce n’est à servir d’exemple de bien ou de mal ? » s'interroge Alfred de Vigny dans la préface de son roman Cinq-Mars, à qui l'on reproche une certaine liberté avec les faits historiques avérés. Un peu comme en réponse à l'écrivain romantique, Olivier Beaumont semble ignorer cette perspective dialectique pour se rapprocher du mot de Perec L'Histoire avec sa grande hache...Grande hache d'autant plus réelle dans le cas présent lorsque l'on connaît la fin tragique d'Henri d'Effiat de Cinq-Mars, dernier favori, grand amour de Louis XIII, et victime, à vingt-deux ans, de la vengeance cruelle du Cardinal de Richelieu.

Beaumont, claveciniste émérite français, décline son récit, qu'il nomme « tombeau », terme sépulcral désignant également une œuvre instrumentale écrite à la mémoire d'un grand artiste, en allers-retours permanents entre la chronique historique et le journal intime. Avec une tension narrative parfaitement menée, ponctuée d'ellipses en pauses rythmiques funestes, il embrasse la fulgurance de la vie de son héros devenu ainsi totalement romanesque, à propos de laquelle l'épistolier Henri Arnauld écrivait en 1640 : « Il arrivera à la fin désordre ».

Reprenant ainsi la forme d'une chaconne et de ses « harmonies horizontales », Beaumont nous révèle, dans un mélange d'ordinaire et d'extraordinaire, le destin dramatique de Cinq-Mars et l'amour qu'il porte à ce personnage dont le portrait, fantôme soudain vivant, semble mystérieusement le contempler. Il nous livre un magnifique Lamento qui, face au tableau de Cinq-Mars admiré à Narbonne, résonne en écho, comme un grand vide ou une grande perte, à la mélancolie finale du narrateur des Aspern Papers devant le portrait de Jeffrey Aspern : When I look at it I can scarcely bear my loss.

le choix du banc au jardin, jamais anodin, qui est déjà une grande réflexion sur les éléments qui le compose ; un choix de lumière sous l'ombre des couleurs discrètes, un choix d’ombre sous la lumière de la jeunesse des feuilles, sous le parapluie des nuances foisonnantes, des formes protectrices, des ouvrages des grands arbres ; un choix qui agira sur la méditation, le recueillement, le rêve

"Nous trouvâmes un banc moins caché, d'aspect moins confidentiel, si je puis dire, que celui de la tonnelle, et nous y étions encore assis quand minuit sonna à ces cloches de Venise dont les notes claires vibrent, par-delà la lagune, avec une solennité qui n'appartient qu'à elles, et demeurent dans l'air tellement plus longtemps que les sonneries des autres lieux."
