(English): Essays by Jean Tortel and Philippe Jaccottet, along with the recent publication of a text by André du Bouchet, “Les dizains concrastés”, reveal a post-war fascination for the Renaissance poet Maurice Scève and his collection Délie (1544). The collection is rediscovered as a « travail du voir » (Tortel) and valorized for the tension it creates between construction and erasing of poetic form, generating a complex relation to the image. Taking these essays as a starting point, this article presents the first two collections of Olivier Larronde Les Barricades mystérieuses (1945) et Rien, voilà l'ordre (1956), in which Scève's influence is manifest. Exploring the relation of the semantic and the visual, it shows that the figural space of pre-classical poetry informs Larronde's poetry and broader poetic polemics in the 1940–60s.
