Whether we be Italians or Frenchmen, misery concerns us all. Ever since history has been written, ever since philosophy has meditated, misery has been the garment of the human race; the moment has at length arrived for tearing off that rag, and for replacing, upon the naked limbs of the Man-People, the sinister fragment of the past with the grand purple robe of the dawn. ✨ Victor Hugo (1905). Works: Les misérables; Fantine. Cosette. Marius. Saint-Denis. Jean Valjean
