Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
Speaker:
00:02:41
Book 7th Parenthesis
Speaker:
00:02:45
chapter one the convent as an
Speaker:
00:02:48
abstract idea,
Speaker:
00:02:50
this book is a drama whose
Speaker:
00:02:53
leading personage is the infinite man,
Speaker:
00:02:56
is the second such being the
Speaker:
00:02:59
case, and a convent having happened to be on our
Speaker:
00:03:01
road, it has been our duty to enter it.
Speaker:
00:03:05
Why? Because the convent,
Speaker:
00:03:08
which is common to the Orient as well as to the
Speaker:
00:03:10
occident, to antiquity as well as to modern
Speaker:
00:03:13
times, to paganism, to
Speaker:
00:03:16
Buddhism, to mayometanism as well as to
Speaker:
00:03:19
Christianity, is one of the optical apparatuses
Speaker:
00:03:21
applied by man to the infinite.
Speaker:
00:03:24
This is not the place for enlarging disproportionately
Speaker:
00:03:27
on certain ideas.
Speaker:
00:03:29
Nevertheless, while absolutely
Speaker:
00:03:32
maintaining our reserves, our restrictions, and
Speaker:
00:03:34
even our indignations, we must say that every time
Speaker:
00:03:37
we encounter man in the infinite, either
Speaker:
00:03:40
well or ill understood, we feel
Speaker:
00:03:43
ourselves overpowered with respect.
Speaker:
00:03:46
There is in the synagogue, in the mosque, in
Speaker:
00:03:49
the pagoda, in the wigwam, a hideous side
Speaker:
00:03:52
which we execrate and a sublime side which we
Speaker:
00:03:54
adore. What a contemplation for the
Speaker:
00:03:57
mind and what endless food for thought is the
Speaker:
00:04:00
reverberation of God upon the human wall.
Speaker:
00:04:03
