A writer's canvas.

Man is wicked, man is deformed; the butterfly has succeeded, man has missed. God failed on this animal.

Les Misérables
Victor Hugo

No other author's words are as brilliant and beautiful as Hugo's in Les Misérables. Like a master painter, Hugo is a master story teller: the page is his canvas, the word is his brush. It is a perfect compliment

Wow. Rather bleak perspective, but nonetheless interesting.

He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tested
He lived, and when he lost his angel, he died
It happened calmly, on it's own
The way night comes when day is done
