Echoing the opposing paradigms of nature and culture prevalent in Qu{\'e}bec literary works as identified by Andr{\'e} Belleau and through Pierre Nepveu{\textquoteright}s perspective in\ Int{\'e}rieurs du Nouveau Monde, this article looks at Pierre Morency{\textquoteright}s approach to reconciling nature and the written word in his poetical and naturalistic\ Histoires naturelles du Nouveau Monde. This trilogy often depicts the sea beds around {\^I}le d{\textquoteright}Orl{\'e}ans, a surprising focus given today{\textquoteright}s poetic output, yet one that allows both observing and learning, viewing and knowing. This focus also fosters the use of an approach to writing that goes beyond the simple dichotomy between nature and culture.
