Ode To Victor Hugo (36) 'les Misérables' the Dead Fantine Heard Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

Contemplating Fantine, now with no motion,
from her Silent and absorbed form
with precaution.
and Inexpressible compassion,
he bent towards her and spoke
in a low voice..
what did he say to her?

What could that man who was condemned
say to that woman who was dead?
What words did he speak?
No living person could have heard!
Did the Dead well hear words
There are touching illusions that said:
there are maybe a sublime relation,

What is beyond any doubt
Or commotion,
Sister Simplice, the only witness
of the scene
often gave here a prolonged talk,
Filled With awe and emotion:
at the moment when Valjean bent
And spoke softly in Fantine's ear,
how she distinctly saw the drawing
of a smile on the Palid lips,
and in the vacant eyes, wide
in the astonishment of death!
Confirmed the dead could hear!
Eyewitness Confirmation.

Taking Fantine's head in both hands
Valjean set it on the pillow,
like a 'mother' with her child.
Shading her like a weeping willow,
He retied the lace of her gown,
and tucked her hair under her cap
Controling it from up to low.
Then he closed her two eyes.
Kneeling, gently he lifted it
and touched it with his lips!
Putting a gentle Kiss, too mild!
***
This Kiss Hugo long longed for
to Put on her drown daughter,
if he arrived her cold corpse.
But Seine water was much faster,
swolled her before he reached.
Fantine here represents Leopoldine
Léopoldine Hugo is the miserabele
Died at the age of eigheen,
That is why the great Hugo
Mentioned so much misery, and weeped,
For Fantine- in ' Les Miserabels '
like all afflicted celebrities,
his soul too was seared with scars
Yes..Calamities make Celebrities!
