Victor Hugo




A Ship at Choppy Seas, Le Gai Château, and Octopus with the initials V. H.
I'd never seen his artwork before, and when on a Les Mis kick the other day, found some. Also, he said this,
"I like you. You yield to me. I love you. – You resist me. Clear off..." (an example of "a typical Hugo love poem.")
Ha. After reading more about his life, he was REALLY back and forth about things, i.e. would constantly change his mind/opinions. Also, there are a TON of parallels between his and Jean Valjean/Valjean's life, which I suppose is fairly expected, but still interesting to get an idea of what inspired him.
