Victor Hugo - Autographed Signed Piece - "he Who Gives To The Poor Lends To God. Victor Hugo."

Victor HUGO (1802.1885) Autograph signed piece. One oblong in-4° page on blue paper. Marginal defects. No place or date. Famous verse by Victor Hugo taken from his collection of poems "Les Voix Intérieures" published in 1837 (V. Dieu est toujours là). "Who gives to the poor lends to God. Victor Hugo." Magnificent thought that the writer wanted to be universal; which he wrote and quoted regularly throughout his life, like a philosophical and religious testament. Happy are those whom my zeal inflames! Who gives to the poor lends to God. The good that one does perfumes the soul; One always remembers it a little! In the evening, at the threshold of his home, Happy is he who still knows how to pick up a crying child like a miser a gold sequin.
