Victor Hugo - Last Will

Last Will

He left a set of five sentences as his last will to be officially published :

« Je donne cinquante mille francs aux pauvres. Je veux être enterré dans leur corbillard.

Je refuse l'oraison de toutes les Eglises. Je demande une prière à toutes les âmes.

Je crois en Dieu. »

I leave 50 000 francs to the poor. I want to be buried in their hearse.

I refuse orations of all churches. I beg a prayer to all souls.

I believe in God.
