VICTOR
HUGO
God places in His breath
and God blends with His voice
All the flowers of the
field, and the birds of the forest.
(Hugo, 1972, 553)
Cathedrals are beautiful
And rise high into the
blue sky
But the nests of the
swallows
Are the building of God
(Hugo, 1967, P. 565)
“Let us love! That’s
all. This is God’s will.”
(Ibid., 566)
“The soul exists
And the proof
Is the fact that we
contemplate creation
And that we contemplate
the Creator.
...
God promises everything
he manifests
Showing us the heavens
is like promising it to us
And having shown it to
us is having promised it to us.”
(Ibid., 839)
“God I suffer too much
I cannot tell you how
much
And what goes on inside
of me.
I cannot hide from you
the dark battles
The deep despair
When God breathes on
man, He acts on his inner being
And sees deep within
it.”
(Ibid., 840)
My Lord, my whole being
is, since my childhood,
A hymn to the beauty of
creation. (Ibid., 841)
