Victor Hugo
Image
Strange to say, the luminous world is the invisible world the luminous world is that which we do not see. Our eyes of flesh see only night.

The owl goes not into the nest of the lark.
Victor Hugo
Image
At least you are mine! Soon – in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!
Victor Hugo

Memory is a gulf that a word can move to its lowest depths.
Victor Hugo
