Analysis of Et Jeanne à Mariette a dit

Victor Marie Hugo 1802 (Besançon) – 1885 (Paris)



Et Jeanne à Mariette a dit : - Je savais bien
Qu'en répondant : c'est moi, papa ne dirait rien.
Je n'ai pas peur de lui puisqu'il est mon grand-père.
Vois-tu, papa n'a pas le temps d'être en colère,
Il n'est jamais beaucoup fâché, parce qu'il faut
Qu'il regarde les fleurs, et quand il fait bien chaud
Il nous dit : N'allez pas au grand soleil nu-tête,
Et ne vous laissez pas piquer par une bête,
Courez, ne tirez pas le chien par son collier,
Prenez garde aux faux pas dans le grand escalier,
Et ne vous cognez pas contre les coins des marbres.
Jouez. Et puis après il s'en va dans les arbres.

Victor Marie Hugo

Victor Marie Hugo was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. He is considered one of the greatest and best known French writers. In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables, 1862, and Notre-Dame de Paris, 1831. Though a committed royalist when he was young, Hugo's views changed as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism, and his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time. He was buried in the Panthéon. more…
