Some men seem to be born the verso, the reverse, the wrong side. They are Pollux, Patroclus, Nisus, Eudamidas, Hephaestion, Pechméja. They can live only on condition of leaning on someone else; their name is a sequel and can only be written preceded by the conjunction and; their existence is not their own; it is the other side of a destiny that is not theirs. Grantaire was one of these men. He was the wrong side of Enjolras.

- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (translated by Julie Rose)

I couldn’t resist doing another ambigram for these two…

a phenomenon often seen. a sceptic adhering to a believer; that is as simple as the law of the complementary colours. what we lack attracts us. nobody loves the light like the blind man.

Some of my favorite movies:

Quo Vadis - 1951

“Behold, she stands with her gown hung loose. Framed is her face in golden tresses, reflecting the milk white beauty of her shoulders. So it was that Venus stood before Mars, welcoming her lover. Nothing do I see that is not perfection.”

“Ever since his conversion to Republican ideals after the coup of 1851, all through his exile years, Hugo’s long-range effort had been to reconcile his political and metaphysical views. The spiritual adventure of Jean Valjean, victim and redeemer, is woven into a larger story that describes the providential role of the Revolution - a divine saga, a ‘geste de Dieu’ accomplished with a flaming ‘archangel’s sword.’”

Victor Hugo Geekery: "French Revolution!"

Victor Hugo Geekery: "French Revolution!":

amarguerite:

hernaniste:

Curious from a character (but not symbolic) standpoint that Enjolras responds “French Revolution!” to the NG’s “Who goes there?” query. It’s powerful, the two different things it means to the different sides.

mcwithams:

It seemed to her that she had begun to live in an abyss, and that it was Jean Valjean who had rescued her from it. Her childhood produced upon her the effect of a time where there had been nothing around her but millipedes, spiders and serpents. When she meditated in the evening, before falling asleep, as she had not a very clear idea that she was Valjean’s daughter, and that he was her father, she fancied the soul of her mother had passed into that good man and had come to dwell near her.

When he was seated, she leaned her cheek against his white hair, and dropped a silent tear, saying to herself: “Perhaps this man is my mother.”
