Résumé anglais Georges Nivat, Prospero and Ariel. An outline of the relations between Andrei Belyi and Viacheslav Ivanov. The article endeavors to draw the chronology and to strike up the balance of relations between two poets belonging to Russian symbolism: Viacheslav Ivanov and Andrei Belyi. On basis of memoirs and articles as well as of the correspondence preserved at the Lenin Library and to date unpublished, the author narrates the history of a friendship occasionally broken by sharp polemics (1907-1908), grave misunderstandings (as illustrated by Belyi' s scathing text, Sirin uchenogo varvarstva / The mermaid of learned barbary, 1918), but also enriched with periods of intense brotherly feeling. The unpublished correspondence, largely quoted, allows to throw a new light on the reconciliation of 1909, on Ivanov's ambiguous interest for anthroposophy (1912), and on some other points. Borrowing one of Briusov's formulas, the author suggests that Ivanov played the role of Prospero, and Belyi that of Ariel.
