Description

A verse by Victor Hugo

Highly desirable AQS signed "Victor Hugo," one page, 10.25 x 4.75, no date. Wonderful and scarce stanza by the great French romantic poet, of his poem 'O, my love letters…,' from his major early poetry volume 'les Feuilles d’automne' ('Autumn Leaves'), published in 1831. In full (translated): "Let us forget! Let us forget! When youth is dead, / Let us be taken by the wind which carries it away / To the dark horizon. / Nothing is left of us; our work is an issue. / Man, wandering ghost, passes by, without even leaving / His shadow upon the wall." In fine condition.
