Invasions of Ideas"
This page and detail are from a little book I did .... it is approx. 4" x 6½" ....made from CP 140 lb WC paper with a circular window filled with a woven insert of its complementary color also in WC paper strips...
I used this page to represent this quote because... Blood is usually splattered when armies invade... and blood starts to flow when ideas invade......
Victor Hugo... 1802-1885... the most forceful, prolific and versatile of the French nineteenth century writers... his work includes romantic dramas... lyrical and satirical verse... political and other journalism... and several novels, the best known being "Les Miserables"...
Hugo was exiled from France, lived in the Channel Islands... returned to France in 1870... A great public figure until his death... his body lay in state under the Arc de Triomphe before being buried in the Pantheon...
