POEM, autograph signed ‘V.H.’; 1 oblong page, in-4.
A page from an album on which Hugo wrote the second stanza (of four) of the fourth piece (‘What care you, my heart, for the births of kings?’…) from *Feuilles d’automne*, published in 1832. Six lines: ‘Turn your gaze elsewhere, fixed solely on God. Nothing here below is free from vanity. Glory flees on swift wings; Crowns and golden mitres shine, but last but a moment. They are not worth the blade of grass that God makes for the swallow’s nest.”
