Barbier<\/span><\/span>, <\/span>Paul, <\/span>Jules<\/span>, <\/span>po\u00e8te, auteur dramatique et librettiste fran\u00e7ais, n\u00e9 \u00e0 Paris le 9 mars 1825*, d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Paris le 16 janvier 1901.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Fils du peintre Alexandre-Nicolas Barbier, cousin germain du po\u00e8te Auguste Barbier, il fut habitu\u00e9 d\u00e8s son plus jeune \u00e2ge \u00e0 fr\u00e9quenter les coulisses des th\u00e9\u00e2tres. Ne se pliant pas facilement \u00e0 la vie r\u00e9elle, il passa souvent pour un original. Enfant, il \u00e9crivit sa premi\u00e8re \u0153uvre dramatique, La Voix de la France, <\/i>puis en 1847 une de ses pi\u00e8ces, L\u2019Ombre de<\/i> Moli\u00e8re<\/em>, fut repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e \u00e0 la Com\u00e9die fran\u00e7aise. D\u00e8s lors ses drames et ses com\u00e9dies en vers ou en proses, furent jou\u00e9s sur de nombreuses sc\u00e8nes parisiennes. Mais c\u2019est surtout en tant que librettiste qu\u2019il s\u00e9duisit le public. Il composa des livrets pour L\u00e9o Delibes, Charles Gounod, Victor Mass\u00e9, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Reyer, Ambroise Thomas, etc.. Longtemps pr\u00e9sident de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des auteurs dramatiques, il devint en 1887, directeur int\u00e9rimaire de l\u2019Op\u00e9ra. <\/span>
D\u00e9cor\u00e9 de la L\u00e9gion d\u2019honneur, Barbier, qui avait auparavant publi\u00e9 dans Le Si\u00e8cle <\/i><\/a>un po\u00e8me dans lequel il comparait Dreyfus au Christ (22 f\u00e9vrier 1898<\/a>), rendit sa d\u00e9coration apr\u00e8s la suspension de Zola<\/a> le 28 juillet 1898. Une lettre de d\u00e9mission montre par la clart\u00e9 et la fermet\u00e9 de ses propos toute sa sobre dignit\u00e9. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Il y a des hommes que la croix honore, tel votre tr\u00e8s humble serviteur, il y en a qui honorent la croix, tel ce grand Zola qui suffit \u00e0 laver la France de la boue dont la couvrent \u00e0 l\u2019envie tous les mauvais bergers qui pr\u00e9tendent la garder. Pour moi, j’estime qu’en pr\u00e9sence de la mesure qui frappe M. Zola il n’y a plus qu’\u00e0 se retirer d’un ordre dont il est exclu : je vous prie donc d’agr\u00e9er ma d\u00e9mission de membre de la L\u00e9gion d’honneur. J’\u00e9prouve autant de joie \u00e0 vous rendre ma rosette d’officier que j’en ai eu \u00e0 la recevoir. (Le Si\u00e8cle <\/i>du 29 juillet 1898<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Ainsi, commentait H. Dr\u00e9an, des Droits de l\u2019Homme<\/i> : \u00ab s\u2019il refuse plus longtemps de porter le ruban rouge, ce n\u2019est point par go\u00fbt des manifestations bruyantes, c\u2019est par devoir de conscience, scrupule de l\u00e9gitime fiert\u00e9, sentiment tr\u00e8s net d\u2019une noble et belle ind\u00e9pendance. Jules Barbier a compris que s\u2019il gardait sa croix, apr\u00e8s la radiation de Zola, il se rendrait moralement solidaire de la mesure prise contre l\u2019illustre ma\u00eetre, etc. \u00bb (30 juillet 1898<\/a>). Et c<\/span>omme l’\u00e9crira son fils<\/a> \u00e0 Dreyfus en 1906 :<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Quelle joie en e\u00fbt ressentie mon pauvre p\u00e8re qui, un soir, en pleurant, d\u00e9tacha pour vous de sa boutonni\u00e8re cette croix d’officier de la l\u00e9gion d’honneur qu’il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 cependant si fier d’obtenir, mais qu’il ne croyait plus avoir le droit de porter, quand on la retirait \u00e0 Zola, l’admirable avocat de votre cause, qui \u00e9tait celle m\u00eame de la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 et de la justice. (collection Anne-C\u00e9cile L\u00e9vy-Ouazana).<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Barbier, qui dans une l<\/span>ettre \u00e0 Joseph Reinach<\/a>, exprimait \u00ab toute la sympathie que m\u2019inspire votre attitude et le profond d\u00e9go\u00fbt que font na\u00eetre en moi les inqualifiables proc\u00e9d\u00e9s des militaires de profession \u00bb (lettre du 10 juillet 1898, BNF, n.a.fr. 13529, f. 10), <\/span>adh\u00e9ra \u00e0 la fondation de la Ligue des droits de l\u2019homme<\/a> et signa l\u2019Adresse \u00e0 Dreyfus<\/a> du (Le Si\u00e8cle, <\/i>16 septembre). Nous n’avons pas trouv\u00e9 trace de la signature qu’il aurait donn\u00e9 \u00e0 la premi\u00e8re protestation<\/a>, comme le dit Reinach (I, p. 848). En revanche, il signa la protestation en faveur de Picquart<\/a> (3e<\/sup> liste). Barbier, qui ne suivit aucun courant, dirigea sa vie selon sa conscience, mettant son talent d\u2019\u00e9crivain au service de la paix et de la fraternit\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
