Ithaque Quand tu partiras pour Ithaque, souhaite que le chemin soit long, riche en péripéties et en expériences. Ne crains ni les Lestrygons, ni les Cyclopes, ni la colère de Neptune. Tu ne verras rien de pareil sur ta route si tes pensées restent hautes, si ton corps et ton âme ne se laissent effleurer que par des emotions sans bassese. Tu ne recontreras ne les Lestrygons, ni les Cyclopes, ni le farouche Neptune, si tu ne les portes pas en toi-même, si ton coeur ne les dresse pas devant toi. Souhaite que le chemin soit long, que nombreux soient les matins d'été, où (avec quelles déelices!) tu pénétreras dans des ports vus pour la premiere fois. Fais escale à des comptoirs phéniciens, et acquiers de belles marchandises: nacre et corail, ambre et ébène, et mille sortes d'entêtants parfums. Acquiers le plus possible de ces entêtans parfums. Visite de nombreuses cités égyptiennes, et instruits-toi avidement auprès de leurs sages. Garde sans cesse Ithaque présente à ton esprit. Ton but final est d'y parvenir, mais n'écourte pas ton voyage: mieux vaut qu'il dure de longues années et que tu abordes enfin dans to île aux jours de ta vieillesse, riche qu'Ithaque t'enrichisse. Ithaque t'a donné le beau voyage: sans elle, tu ne te serais pas mis en route. Elle n'a plus rien d'autre à te donner. Si tu la trouves pauvre, Ithaque ne t'a pas trompé. Sage comme tu l'es devenue à la suite de tant d'experiences, tu as enfin compris ce que signifient les Ithaques.
