Résumé anglais Georges Nivat, Tsvetaeva and Brodskii: two types of references to the Bible. Tsvetaeva's references to the Bible appeal to great outcasts: Samson, Joseph in Egypt and above all, Hagar, Abraham's servant and mistress, who was cast out with her son Ishmael. Brodskii's great poem "Isaak i Avraam" contrasts Egypt's aridity with Russia's lush forests, the cruelty of the Old Testament with the gentle nature of the New Testament. The poet's cabalistic reading brings him to first see the Cross, then Art, in the burning bush. For both poets, drawing on the violence of the Bible is salutary.
