The Man Who Laughs Part II, Book the Sixth, Chapter I - What the Misanthrope said

from The Victor Hugo Library · host Victor Hugo

In which Ursus lingers with a sombre patience outside the grim gates of Southwark Jail, his thoughts a tangled web of suspicion and reluctant relief concerning the fate of Gwynplaine. As he wanders the desolate lanes near the fair-ground, his bitter soliloquy reveals a fractious spirit, torn between old affection and a harsh judgment shaped by the iron laws of society.
