Freedom And The World

________________________________________________
Title:     Freedom And The World
Author: Victor Hugo [More Titles by Hugo]

[Inscription under a Statue of the Virgin and Child, at Guernsey.--The poet sees in the emblem a modern Atlas, i.e., Freedom supporting the World.]

("Le peuple est petit.")

Weak is the People--but will grow beyond all other--
Within thy holy arms, thou fruitful victor-mother!
O Liberty, whose conquering flag is never furled--
Thou bearest Him in whom is centred all the World.

[The end]
Victor Hugo's poem: Freedom And The World
