VERSES
"And the dream that our mind had sketched in haste
Shall others continue, but never complete.
For none upon earth can achieve his scheme;
The best as the worst are futile here:
We wake at the self-same point of the dream,
All is here begun, and finished elsewhere."
~Victor Hugo , Early Love Revisited
Trees of the forest, you know my soul!
As envy dictates, the crowd praises and blames;
But you know me well, you have seen me often,
Alone in your depths, gazing and dreaming.
You know the stone where a scarab beetle scampers,
A humble drop of water falling from flower to flower,
A cloud, a bird can occupy me a whole day,
Contemplation fills my heart with love...
~Victor Hugo, Contemplations

Loved for ourselves. And even loved in spite of ourselves." ~Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
