Jorge Luis Borges, La Loterie \u00e0 Babylone<\/em>, in Fictions<\/em>, traduit Trad. de l’espagnol (Argentine) par Roger Caillois, Gallimard, 1952\u2028
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nos historiens, qui sont les plus perspicaces du globe, ont invent\u00e9 une m\u00e9thode pour d\u00e9pister ces traditionnelles erreurs et pour corriger le hasard : il est constant que les r\u00e9sultats de leurs recherches sont, en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, dignes de foi ; mais leurs m\u00e9moires ne sauraient naturellement \u00eatre publi\u00e9es sans une certaine dose de fausset\u00e9. Du reste, rien de plus contamin\u00e9 de fiction que l’histoire elle-m\u00eame de la Compagnie\u2026 Tel document pal\u00e9ographique, exhum\u00e9 comme un temple, peut provenir du tirage d’hier, comme d’un tirage s\u00e9culaire. Aucun livre n’est publi\u00e9 sans quelque divergence entre chaque exemplaire. Les scribes pr\u00eatent serment d’omettre, d’interpoler, de varier. Le mensonge indirect est \u00e9galement exerc\u00e9.

La Compagnie, avec une modestie divine, \u00e9vite toute publicit\u00e9. Ses agents, comme il est naturel, sont secrets ; les ordres qu’ils dictent de fa\u00e7on r\u00e9it\u00e9r\u00e9e – et peut-\u00eatre incessante – ne sont pas diff\u00e9rents de ceux que prodiguent les imposteurs. Du reste, qui pourrait se vanter d’\u00eatre un parfait imposteur ? L’ivrogne qui improvise une injonction absurde, le r\u00eaveur qui brusquement s’\u00e9veille et \u00e9touffe de ses mains la femme qui dort \u00e0 ses c\u00f4t\u00e9s, n’ex\u00e9cutent-ils pas, peut-\u00eatre, quelque secr\u00e8te d\u00e9cision de la Compagnie ? Ce fonctionnement silencieux, comparable \u00e0 celui de Dieu, provoque toute sorte de conjectures. L’une d’elles insinue abominablement qu’il y a des si\u00e8cles que la Compagnie n’existe plus et que le d\u00e9sordre sacr\u00e9 de nos vies est purement h\u00e9r\u00e9ditaire, traditionnel ; une autre juge au contraire que la Compagnie est \u00e9ternelle et professe qu’elle durera jusqu’\u00e0 la derni\u00e8re nuit, o\u00f9 le monde p\u00e9rira aux mains du dernier dieu. Celle-ci affirme que la Compagnie est toute-puissante, mais que son champ d’influence est minuscule : le cri d’un oiseau, les nuances de la rouille et de la poussi\u00e8re, les demi-r\u00eaves du matin. Cette autre, par la bouche d’h\u00e9r\u00e9siarques masqu\u00e9s, d\u00e9clare qu’elle n’a jamais exist\u00e9 et jamais n’existera. Une derni\u00e8re, non moins ignoble, exprime qu’il est indiff\u00e9rent d’affirmer ou de nier la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de la t\u00e9n\u00e9breuse corporation, parce que Babylone n’est autre chose qu’un infini jeu de hasard.
