Toute la plage a retenti, ... ils souffrent de tes douleurs, tous ces mortels qui habitent le sol sacré de l'Asie, et les vierges de Colchide, intrépides soldats, et le peuple scythe, qui occupe les bords du marais Méotide, et cette fleur de l'Arabie, ces héros dont le Caucase abrite les remparts, bataillons frémissants et tout hérissés de lances. Il y a plus de deux mille ans que les choeurs d'Eschyle peignaient ainsi les peuples du Caucase, et il semble que rien ne soit changé. Aujourd'hui encore, comme au temps de Prométhée, la fleur de l'Arabie s'abrite sous les remparts des montagnes sauvages, et les ravins cachent un peuple de héros. Un autre trait qui avait frappé Eschyle, et qui a conservé pour nous toute sa force, c'est le caractère fabuleux de ce pays. Le Caucase, aux yeux du vieux poète, ce sont les confins du monde, c'est le désert inaccessible; si nous ne répétons plus ces paroles, tous les voyageurs qui visitent les gorges du Kasbeck, tous les savants qui essaient de pénétrer les secrets de ces peuples, vivantes images des antiques migrations des races, s'écrient encore avec la jeune fille aux cornes de génisse: Où suis-je ? chez quel peuple ? Quel est ce captif que j'aperçois enchaîné à ces rocs ? Ces rocs, où le titan vaincu continuait de braver Jupiter et prophétisait sa ruine, ces gorges et ces défilés formidables, où le prophète Shamyl tient la puissance russe en échec, sont demeurés la plus mystérieuse contrée de la vieille Europe...
