Résumé

Partant du fait que la vie de lamartine est une quete permanente du bonheur nous avons tente de faire ressortir l'influence determinante de son epoque et le role primordial de sa mere dans sa conception du bonheur. Nous avons constate que contrairement a d'autres poetes du xixeme qui cherchent des ''ersarts'' au bonheur dans la drogue, le plaisir charnel, l'oubli, lamartine, lui fait un choix conscient des voies, qui pourront lui apporter la plenitude : c'est aussi qu'il prend la decision de se marier, de croire en dieu au de devenir un homme politique. Sa conception du bonheur est liee etroitement a deux elements : aux evenements de sa vie et a sa volonte d'etre heureux. Par cette raison nous avons analyse le role de moment et ses transformations par le temps et le souvenir dans la poesie lamartinienne et la determination du poete d'affronter les epreuves du destin dans sa quete du bonheur. Nous avons egalement essaye de mettre en relief la complexite de sa pensee d'une part epicurienne et de l'autre philosophique. Apres avoir retrace l'evolution de sa conception dans sa vie et dans son oeuvre, nous sommes arrives a la conclusion. . .

Taking into account the fact that lamartine's life is a permanent search for happiness, we have tried to point out the basic influence of his time and of his mother in his approach of happiness. We have asserted that contrarely to other poets of the xixe century who were searching substitutes to happiness in drugs, erotic pleasure, lamartine chooses consciously the ways that could provide fulfillment : in that way, he decides to get maried, to believe in god and to become a political character. His approach to happiness is linked to two elements : to the facts of his existence and to his will power to be happy. For this reason, we have analysed the importance of the moment and the poet's determination to face the obstacles of life in his quest for happiness. We have tried too, to underline the complexity of his thinking epicurian on one hand, philosophical on the other. After having stutied the evolution of his conception in his life and in his writings, we have reached the conclusion that for lamartine, happiness is a desire more than a reality, a state of mind, a hope to find a continuel enlightment of the heart and of the mind a search that nothing can stop.
