Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of Victor Hugo The conviction that Victor Hugo's permanent fame is to rest largely upon his poetry, the evident fact that it is just this part of his work that is least adequately represented in the reading of American students, and indeed of the American public generally, and the belief that for many the formidable array of volumes in which his poetry is con tained is a chief obstacle to a better acquaintance with the poet - these are the considerations that have led to the preparation of this volume. Its purpose will have been attained if it contribute somewhat to the wider knowledge and the juster appreciation in this country of Victor Hugo as poet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations From the Poems of Victor Hugo It has been said that in these days we know toomuch about our great men. The "fierce light" that beats around the lives of men of genius exaggerates and often distorts every unimportant detail, every subsidiary feature, so that we are shown shreds and patches rather than any comprehensive or comprehensible unit, and a jargon of discussion rises in place of a calm judgment It is as thoughsome great old picture were exposed to a glare so intense that only its cracks and scores would attract notice, while the design as a whole was lost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Poems by Victor Hugo: Edited With Introduction and Notes In grouping the material, I have adopted a systematic rather than a chronological arrangement. The chronologi cal order usually followed is undesirable. No one would attempt to explain a picture by tracing the order of the strokes of the painter's brush; it only breeds confusion in the mind of the student. Moreover, it is now certain that many of the dates which Hugo placed at the end of his poems are not exact though we do not always know what the true dates are. I have, therefore, suppressed them, since scholarly discussions would here be out of place. In two or three places only, when they were essential to the understanding of the poem, I have retained them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems of Victor Hugo, Vol. 17 One Vlad refused his tribute - he they dub (i mean the Chief of Tunis) Beelzebub Who the Turk's envoys took, empaled them straight Each side the road, before the city gate. On Murad came, burned harvests, barns, and then The Boyard conquered; twenty thousand men Prisoners of war he took, compelled to yield; Next a vast wall built round the battlefield. The twenty thousand men in embrasures, Whence issue shrieks of torment, he immures; For every victim's eyes he made a slit; And when he left, upon the wall he writ, Stone-carver Murad to stake-planter Vlad. Strong faith the Sultan and devotion had. Once in Euboea, where his lightning came, He gave a hundred convents to the flame. Murad, for forty years dread homicide, Slaughtered mankind: God seemed with him to hide. He was supreme unnumbered armies o'er Was caliph, padishah, and emperor. Great is Murad! The priesthood shout the While. II Bad legislator, conqueror yet more vile, Having around him only abject troops, Slaves, and the crowd that in the mire stoops Souls tongued to lick his feet which hiding hate Praised him for crimes, always inexpiate. Flattered, embraced by conquered enemies, He lived immersed in incense, pride, and joys, With the vast weariness of worshiped eng.

The early murmurs of old Memphis creep Faint on my ear; and here unseen we stray, Deep in the covert of the grove Withdrawn, Save by the dewy eye-glance of the dawn. Within my father's palace, fair to see, Shine all the Arts, but oh! This river side, Pranked with gay flowers, is dearer far to me Than gold and porphyry vases bright and wide; How glad in heaven the song-bird carols free!

Download or read book Selected Poems of Victor Hugo written by Victor Hugo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although best known as the author of Notre Dame de Paris and Les Misérables, Victor Hugo was primarily a poet—one of the most important and prolific in French history. Despite his renown, however, there are few comprehensive collections of his verse available and even fewer translated editions. Translators E. H. and A. M. Blackmore have collected Victor Hugo's essential verse into a single, bilingual volume that showcases all the facets of Hugo's oeuvre, including intimate love poems, satires against the political establishment, serene meditations, religious verse, and narrative poems illustrating his mastery of the art of storytelling and his abiding concern for the social issues of his time. More than half of this volume's eight thousand lines of verse appear here for the first time in English, providing readers with a new perspective on each of the fascinating periods of Hugo's career and aspects of his style. Introductions to each section guide the reader through the stages of Hugo's writing, while notes on individual poems provide information not found in even the most detailed French-language editions. Illustrated with Hugo's own paintings and drawings, this lucid translation—available on the eve of Hugo's bicentenary—pays homage to this towering figure of nineteenth-century literature by capturing the energy of his poetry, the drama and satirical force of his language, and the visionary beauty of his writing as a whole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Novels and Poems of Victor Marie Hugo, Vol. 2 Lae'r year (1861) on a beautiful May morning, a traveller, the person who is telling this story, was coming from Nivelles, and directing his course towards La Hulpe. He was on foot. He was pursuing a broad paved road, which undulated between two rows of trees, over the hills which succeed each other, raise the road and let it fall again, and produce something in the nature of enormous waves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Novels and Poems of Victor Marie Hugo, Vol. 7: Notre-Dame De Paris, Volume II Beside her stood a young man of imposing mien, although partaking somewhat of vanity and bravado one of those hand some fellows whom all women agree to admire, although grave men learned in physiognomy shrug their shoulders at them. This young man wore the garb of a captain of the king's unattached archers, which bears far too much resemblance to the costume of Jupiter, which the reader has already been enabled to admire in the first book of this history, for us to inflict upon him a second description. The damoiselles were seated, a part in the chamber, a part in the balcony, some on square cushions of Utrecht velvet with golden corners, others on stools of oak carved in flowers and figures. Each of them held on her knee a section of a great needlework tapestry, on which they were working in company, while one end of it lay upon the rush mat which covered the floor.
