You who weep, come to this God, for he weeps.
You who suffer, come to him, for he cures.
You who tremble, come to him, for he smiles.
You who pass, come to him, for he remains.
[written in 1847 after the death of his beloved daughter in 1843]
--Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Ecrit au bas d’un crucifix
Vous qui pleurez,
venez à ce Dieu, car il pleure.
Vous qui
souffrez, venez à lui, car il guérit.
Vous qui
tremblez, venez à lui, car il sourit.
Vous
qui passez, venez à lui, car il demeure.
