Les Miserables M by Victor Hugo
Speaker:
00:02:41
chapter nine the old soul of
Speaker:
00:02:44
Ghal there was something
Speaker:
00:02:47
of that boy in Pokholan, the son of the
Speaker:
00:02:50
fish market. Beau Marquet had
Speaker:
00:02:52
something of it. Kaminiri is a shade of
Speaker:
00:02:55
the gallic spirit mingled with sense.
Speaker:
00:02:58
It sometimes adds force to the
Speaker:
00:03:01
latter, as alcohol does to wine.
Speaker:
00:03:04
Sometimes it is a defect. Homer
Speaker:
00:03:07
repeats himself eternally. Granted, 1 may
Speaker:
00:03:10
say, that Voltaire plays the gamin. Camille das
Speaker:
00:03:12
Mullins was a native of the Faubourgs
Speaker:
00:03:15
championet, who treated miracles brutally. Rose from
Speaker:
00:03:18
the pavements of Paris. He had when
Speaker:
00:03:21
a small lad inundated the porticos of Saint John de
Speaker:
00:03:23
Beauvais and of Saint Etain Dumont,
Speaker:
00:03:27
he had addressed the shrine of Saint Genevieve familiarly, to
Speaker:
00:03:30
give orders to the feel of St. Januaris.
Speaker:
00:03:33
The gamin of Paris is respectful, ironical,
Speaker:
00:03:36
and insolent. He has villainous teeth because
Speaker:
00:03:39
hes badly fed and his stomach suffers,
Speaker:
00:03:42
and handsome eyes because he has wit. If
Speaker:
00:03:44
Jehovah himself were present, he would go hopping up the
Speaker:
00:03:47
steps of paradise on 1ft. He is strong
Speaker:
00:03:50
on boxing. All beliefs are possible to
Speaker:
00:03:53
him. He plays in the gutter and straightens himself up with
Speaker:
00:03:56
a revolt. His effentry persists even in the
Speaker:
00:03:59
presence of grapeshot. He was a
Speaker:
00:04:01
scapegrace. He is a hero, like the little
Speaker:
00:04:04
Thabian. He shakes the skin from the lion.
Speaker:
00:04:07
Bera, the drummer boy, was a gamin of Paris. He
Speaker:
00:04:10
shouts forward as the horse of scripture
Speaker:
00:04:13
says, va ah. And in a moment he has
Speaker:
00:04:16
passed from the small brat to the giant.
Speaker:
00:04:19
This child of the puddle is also the child of the
Speaker:
00:04:22
ideal measure, that spread of wings which
Speaker:
00:04:25
reaches from Moliere to Bera. To sum up
Speaker:
00:04:28
the whole and in one word, Nagamon is a
Speaker:
00:04:31
being who amuses himself because he is unhappy.
Speaker:
