Victor Hugo Quotes
Usually, The Murmur That Rises Up From Paris By Day Is The City Talking; In The Night It Is The City Breathing; But Here It Is The City Singing. Listen, Then, To This Chorus Of Bell-towers - Diffuse Over The Whole The Murmur Of Half A Million People - The Eternal Lament Of The River - The Endless Sighing Of The Wind - The Grave And Distant Quartet Of The Four Forests Placed Upon The Hills, In The Distance, Like Immense Organpipes - Extinguish To A Half Light All In The Central Chime That Would Otherwise Be Too Harsh Or Too Shrill; And Then Say Whetehr You Know Of Anything In The World More Rich, More Joyous, More Golden, More Dazzling, Than This Tumult Of Bells And Chimes - This Furnace Of Music - These Thousands Of Brazen Voices, All Singing Together In Flutes Of Stone Three Hundred Feet High, Than This City Which Is But One Orchestra - This Symphony Which Roars Like A Tempest.
