Fantine

by Victor Hugo

Overview

Nous achèterons de bien belles choses En nous promenant le long des faubourgs. Les bleuets sont bleus, les roses sont roses, Les bleuets sont bleus, j'aime mes amours. La vierge Marie auprès de mon poêle Est venue hier en manteau brodé, Et m'a dit: - Voici, caché sous mon voile, Le petit qu'un jour tu m'as demandé. - Courrez à la ville, ayez de la toile, Achetez du fil, achetez un dé. Nous achèterons de bien belles choses En nous promenant le long des faubourgs. Bonne Sainte Vierge, auprès de mon poêle J'ai mis un berceau de rubans orné. Dieu me donnerait sa plus belle étoile, J'aime mieux l'enfant que tu m'as donné. - Madame, que faire avec cette toile ? - Faites un trousseau pour son nouveau-né.

About the Author

Victor Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. He is considered one of the greatest and best known French writers. In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem. Outside France, his best-known works are the acclaimed novels Les Misérables, 1862, and Notre-Dame de Paris, 1831 (known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). He also produced more than 4,000 drawings, which have since been admired for their beauty, and earned widespread respect as a campaigner for social causes such as the abolition of the death penalty.
