>> Brie Carlisle: Values today well be
Speaker:
00:02:36
continuing Les Miserable by Victor
Speaker:
00:02:39
Hugo chapter
Speaker:
00:02:42
twelve the future latent in the people
Speaker:
00:02:46
as For the parisian populace, even when a man
Speaker:
00:02:49
grown, it is always the street Arab. To paint the
Speaker:
00:02:52
child is to paint the city. And it is for that reason
Speaker:
00:02:55
that we have studied this eagle in this errant sparrow.
Speaker:
00:02:58
It is in the faubourgs. Above all, we maintain
Speaker:
00:03:01
that the parisian race appears. There is the
Speaker:
00:03:04
pure blood, there is the true
Speaker:
00:03:06
physiognomy. There this people toils
Speaker:
00:03:09
and suffers, and suffering and toil are the two faces of
Speaker:
00:03:12
man. There exist there immense
Speaker:
00:03:15
numbers of unknown beings among whom
Speaker:
00:03:17
swarm types of the strangest. From the porter of Le
Speaker:
00:03:20
repe to the knacker of Montfaucon.
Speaker:
00:03:23
Fex urbis. Exclaims Cicero mob.
Speaker:
00:03:26
Adds Burke indignantly. Rabble
Speaker:
00:03:29
multitude populous. These are
Speaker:
00:03:32
words and quickly uttered, but so
Speaker:
00:03:35
be it. What does it matter? What is it
Speaker:
00:03:37
to me if they do go barefoot? They do not know how to
Speaker:
00:03:40
read. So much the worse. Would you abandon them for
Speaker:
00:03:43
that, would you turn their distress into a
Speaker:
00:03:46
malediction? Cannot the light penetrate these
Speaker:
00:03:49
masses? Let us return to that
Speaker:
00:03:51
cry light. And
Speaker:
00:03:54
let us obstinately persist therein.
Speaker:
00:03:57
Light, light, light. Who knows whether these
Speaker:
00:04:00
opacities will not become transparent? Are not
Speaker:
00:04:03
revolutions transfigurations? Come,
Speaker:
00:04:06
philosophers, teach, enlighten,
Speaker:
00:04:09
lighten up. Think aloud, speak aloud. Hasten
Speaker:
00:04:11
joyously to the great sun, fraternize with the
Speaker:
00:04:14
public place, announce the good news,
Speaker:
00:04:17
spend your alphabets lavishly, proclaim
Speaker:
00:04:19
rites, sing the Marseilles, sow
Speaker:
00:04:22
enthusiasms, tear green boughs from the
Speaker:
00:04:24
Oaks, make a whirlwind of the idea.
Speaker:
00:04:27
The crowd may be rendered sublime. Let
Speaker:
00:04:30
us learn how to make use of that vast conflagration of
Speaker:
00:04:33
principles and virtues which
Speaker:
00:04:35
sparkles, burst forth, and quivers at
Speaker:
00:04:38
certain hours. These bare feet,
Speaker:
00:04:40
these bare arms, these rags, these ignorances,
Speaker:
00:04:43
these abjectnesses, these darknesses may
Speaker:
00:04:46
be employed in the conquest of the ideal.
Speaker:
00:04:50
Gaze past the people, and you will perceive the
Speaker:
00:04:53
truth. Let that vile sand which you
Speaker:
00:04:56
trample underfoot be cast into the furnace.
Speaker:
00:04:59
Let it melt and seethe there
Speaker:
00:05:02
it will become a splendid crystal. And
Speaker:
00:05:05
it is thanks to it that Galileo and Newton will discover
Speaker:
00:05:08
stars.
Speaker:
00:05:10
