What do you think of this little text written by Victor Hugo for his daughter who died?

[Julie4]

Tomorrow, at dawn, when the countryside whitens,
I will leave. You see, I know you're waiting for me.
I will go through the forest, I will go over the mountains.
I cannot remain far from you any longer.

I will walk with my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Without seeing anything outside, without hearing any noise,
Alone, unknown, my back curved, my hands crossed,
Sad, and for me, the day will be like the night.

I will not look at the gold of the evening that falls,
Nor the distant sails descending toward Harfleur,
And when I arrive, I will place on your tomb
A bouquet of green holly and blooming heather.

Very powerful
Maybe he should consider becoming a writer 🤔

[Julie4]

Yeah 🤣

It conveys profound sadness of a parent for their child's death. Very affecting.

[Julie4]

Yes, it was a tragic event, and I must say that Victor Hugo has a talent for expressing himself with words.

[RavVid]

Very much so. An excellent writer can have you smell freshly baked bread in the kitchen from the words. Victor is certainly in that class.

Tragic yet beautiful.
