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!
