...here are a few famous verses from L'Expiation, one of Hugo's masterpieces in the collection Châtiments: «Waterloo! Waterloo! Waterloo! Dismal plain! Pale death swirled together the sombre batallions In your theatre of woods, hillocks and valleys, Like a current bubbling up into an overfull urn. Europe on one side, France on the other. Carnage! from heros God took away all hope; Victory, you were a deserter, and Fate was weary. O Waterloo! I weep; and then I hold back my tears - alas! - For these, the last soldiers of the final war Were great; they had conquered the whole earth, put twenty kings to flight, and had crossed the Alps and the Rhine, And their soul sang in bugles of bronze!» napoleon.org waterloo1815.be
