And I cried, cried-hey! Victor, How beautiful! This is the first time that I am really sensitive to poetry; This is the first time a text has made me cry! Of the hundred poems of Contemplations, in addition to Cosette's premises in " Melancholia", and perhaps a little Jean Valjean in "The Master of Studies", the majority of the lines relate to his daughter Léopoldine, the true love of his life, drowned in the Seine on September 4, 1843 in 19 years old. What about her other children, Adèle Foucher, the mother, while several poems relate to a mother dying in front of her children,... and even a single poem evokes Juliette Drouet, her mistress. It's beautiful, it's moving, it's romantic, the souls of bodies abandoned to the waves speak to each other, underwater, then transform into celestial stars. Already, Victor, whose complicity with her was great, took five years to abandon Léopoldine to Charles. So, after 1843, it took him three years to return to the scene of the tragedy (I lived in the beautiful town of Caudebec, near Villequier), then until 1854, and perhaps more Later, he asks himself questions about the death of his daughter, and, like Jesus on the cross, "Father, why have you abandoned me?", he asks God the question several times: To make her die, why did you give birth to her?
