Les Contemplations by Victor Hugo
Poèmes
"Les Contemplations" is a collection of poetry that explores themes of love, nature, and spirituality.

The second half, in contrast, delves into more philosophical and existential themes, reflecting on the nature of life, death, and the human condition. The poems are renowned for their lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and profound exploration of human experiences.
