More From Victor Hugo

The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man; it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. there is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.

I stare at her chest. as she breathes, the rounded peaks move up and down like the swell of waves, somehow reminding me of rain falling softly on a broad stretch of sea. i'm the lonely voyager standing on deck, and she's the sea. the sky is a blanket of gray, merging with the gray sea off on the horizon. it's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky. between voyager and sea. between reality and the workings of the heart.

Nature Sea Sky
The sea of galilee and the dead sea are made of the same water. it flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of herman and the roots of the cedars of lebanon. the sea of galilee makes beauty of it, the sea of galilee has an outlet. it gets to give. it gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the jordan plain. but the dead sea with the same water makes horror. for the dead sea has no outlet. it gets to keep.
Life Beauty Death
The world stands out on either side no wider than the heart is wide; above the world is stretched the sky, no higher than the soul is high. the heart can push the sea and land farther away on either hand; the soul can split the sky in two, and let the face of god shine through. but east and west will pinch the heart that can not keep them pushed apart; and he whose soul is flat—the sky will cave in on him by and by.

Everyone who’s born has come from the sea. your mother’s womb is just a sea in small. and birds come of seas on eggs. horses lie in the sea before they’re born. the placenta is the sea. your blood is the sea continued in your veins. we are the ocean — walking on the land.

Daughter Mother Son
Growing up in a place that has winter, you learn to avoid self-pity. winter is not a personal experience, everybody else is just as cold as you, so you shouldn't complain about it too much. you learn this as a kid, coming home crying from the cold, and mother looks down and says, 'it's only a little frostbite. you're okay.' and thus you learn to be okay. what's done is done. get over it. drink your coffee. it's not the best you'll ever get but it's good enough.

We must put aside all judgment of our own, and keep the mind ever ready and prompt to obey in all things the true spouse of christ our lord, our holy mother, the hierarchical church.
