The Man who Laughs - Victor Hugo

This quote was added by malevolarky
Who could tell what sinister mysteries lurked behind this phantom? The illimitable, circumscribed by naught, nor tree, nor roof, nor passer-by, was around the dead man. When the unchangeable broods over us - when Heaven, the abyss, the life, grave, and eternity appear patent - then it is we feel that all is inaccessible, all is forbidden, all is sealed. When infinity opens to us, terrible indeed is the closing of the gate behind.
