Tomorrow at Dawn

Tomorrow, at dawn, when the countryside brightens,
I will depart. 

You see, I know that you wait for me.
I will go through the wood, I will go past the mountains.
I cannot remain far from you any longer. 

I will walk, eyes set upon my thoughts,
Seeing nothing around me and hearing no sound,
Alone, unknown, back bent, hands crossed,
Sorrowful, and for me, day will be as night.

I will not watch the evening gold fall,
Nor the distant sails going down to Harfleur,
And, when I arrive, I will put on your grave
A bouquet of green holly and heather in bloom.

Victor Hugo (born February 26, 1802, Besançon, France — died May 22, 1885, Paris) was a poet, novelist, and dramatist who was the most important of the French Romantic writers. Though regarded in France as one of that country’s greatest poets, he is better known abroad for such novels as Notre-Dame de Paris (1831; The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) and Les Misérables (1862).

 

 

 

 

Victor Hugo, primarily known as a literary giant, was also a talented visual artist whose drawings and sketches        reflect his imaginative and romantic sensibilities.

Maison Victor Hugo gee ‘n blik op dié veelsydige kunstenaar se lewe, en vertoon sy uitgebreide kunsversameling.

Op ‘n reënerige dag was dié uitstappie beslis die moeite werd. En afgerond/aangevul met ‘n vars baguette en koffie in die woonstel!
