Hugo Victor

A judge ruled a man is not cursed By the name by which he was nursed So his wife's not to blame That his friends cause him shame When she tells them all, "Hugo first!"

Mahalo, Valsa! History proves people don't need to be saints or "normal" to make major contributions to society. Victor Hugo and his wife Adèle were quite a contrast to Héloïse et Abélard . . . .

Let us hope it rings Adèle when Anais Vionet - and other students - take their French literature tests! Aloha!
