La rose secrete ; les histoires de Hanrahan le Roux

Cité parmi les plus grands poètes du xxe siècle, William Butler Yeats s'est frayé un chemin envoûtant dans le folklore irlandais, pavé de contes intemporels qui mêlent la prose à la poésie. Dans ces contrées où les roses cultivent leur secret, on croise des pendus qui chantent face à des moines vengeurs, des amoureux maudits et des hommes-oiseaux, des chevaliers oubliés et des magiciens aux mains de bruyères. On croise aussi Hanrahan le Roux, « maître d'école en plein air », poète à la langue vive condamné à vagabonder, intranquille et à demi-fou, après avoir déçu les avances d'Echtge des montagnes, une divinité endormie veillée par les grandes Sidhes. Les Sidhes, sentinelles surnaturelles et ambivalentes, sont issues des légendes gaéliques médiévales. Elles veillent dans la pénombre des forêts, des montagnes et des lacs. Elles ont choisi Yeats comme messager. Là réside sans doute la magie de ces récits qui, dans leur évocation d'une nature pleine de métamorphoses et de mystères, font briller à nouveau les lueurs animistes de nos origines.
