Victor Hugo on Immortality and Rebirth
The piece contrasts Edison’s disbelief in an afterlife with Victor Hugo’s assurance of a future life. Hugo likens himself to a cut tree sending up new shoots and speaks of immortal melodies guiding him beyond death. He says his day’s work will resume after sleep, and the tomb is a thoroughfare to dawn, not a dead end.
