1851年,病魔缠身的雨果由于嘲讽拿破仑三世是“小人”而被驱逐出境。他流落到英国海峡群岛最南端的泽西岛,每天傍晚时分都坐在可以俯瞰海港的长椅上,久久凝视落日,陷入沉思。然后,他总是缓慢却不乏坚定地站起来,在地上捡一些石头,一块块地远远掷向大海。掷完了,他就带着满足离去。 In 1851, the ill-humored Hugo was deported due to ridiculed Napoleon III’s “villain.” He flew to Jersey, the southern tip of the British Channel Islands, sitting in a bench overlooking the harbor every evening, staring into the sun and contemplating. Then he was always slow but there was no lack of firm standing to pick up some stones on the ground, throwing pieces of land far to the sea. After throwing, he will leave with satisfaction.
