La toile se lève sur la scène, où le peintre Puvis de Chavannes a peint d'assez cocasses décorsune scène où il y a juste la place pour un soufflet et un coup de pied dans le derrière. Et la farce commence, une farce qui parait écrite au pied levé, une nuit de carnaval, dans un cabaret de Bergame, avec de jolis vers qui montent s'enrouler ainsi que des fleurs autour d'une batte. Là dedans passe et repasse toute la famille, les deux filles de Gautier, Judith, dans un costume d'Esméralda de la comédie italienne, développant des grâces molles; la jeune Estelle, svelte dans son habit d'Arlequin, et montrant sous son petit museau noir, de jolies moues d'enfant; le fils de Gautier en Pierrot un peu froid, un peu trop dans son rôle, un peu trop posthume; puis enfin Théophile Gautier, luimême faisant le docteur, un Pantalon extraordinaire, grimé, enluminé, peinturluré à faire peur à toutes les maladies énumérées par Diafoirus, l'échiné pliée, le geste en bois, la voix transposée, travaillée, tirée on ne sait d'où, des lobes du cerveau, de l'épigastre, du calcaneum de ses talons: une voix enrouée, extravagante, qui semble du Rabelais gloussé. septembre.BarsurSeine....

Septembre.C'est prodigieux comme Millet a saisi le galbe de la femme de labeur et de fatigue, courbée sur la glèbe. Il a trouvé un dessin carré, un contour fruste qui rend ce corpspaquet, où il n'y a plus rien des rondeurs provocantes de la forme féminine, ce corps que le travail et la misère ont aplati comme avec un rouleau, n'y laissant ni gorge ni hanches, et qui ont fait de cette femme un ouvrier sans sexe, habillé d'un casaquin et d'une jupe, dont les couleurs ne semblent que la déteinte des deux éléments entre lesquels ce corps vit, en haut bleu comme le ciel,
