I was hesitating on whether to post it because I thought it might be too familiar. Luckily I was wrong. <br /><br />I checked out the Victor Hugo poem you recommended. How very poignant and tragic. Yet, again, I think the English translation doesn't completely convey the depth of his sadness. Thanks for introducing this poem to me!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-45610202364212254052014-07-11T01:22:03.123-07:002014-07-11T01:22:03.123-07:00Uplifting words with my coffee this morning, I re...Uplifting words with my coffee this morning, I read it completely in French!

And he seems to imply heroism in the small things ….. areas and situations that are not necessary obvious or flamboyant but heroism nonetheless. <br /><br />I also like the last line: Strive to be happy. He implies that happiness is something that needs to be worked on, that it doesn't necessarily come easily. <br /><br />He touches on many great ideas that can help us in life!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-66891920237956320482014-07-09T06:51:45.395-07:002014-07-09T06:51:45.395-07:00Or that heroism is everywhere.
