"</em></p><p>Written intermittently between 1855 and 1876 the poems of<em> La Légende des siècles</em> were published in three volumes during 1859 1877 and 1883. Hugo contemplates the wall of centuries on which all the scenes of the past present and future are drawn and mingled and where the long procession of humanity parades. Carried by a poetic talent considered as unparalleled where all the art of Hugo is summed up this collection the "only possible modern epic" for Baudelaire is a summit of French poetry.</p><p>Our manuscript shows important variations with the poem published in 1877 in the Nouvelle série de <em>La Légende des Siècles</em> it has 106 stanzas in its final version.</p><p><u>Bibliography:</u><br />– <em>La Légende des siècles</em> Nouvelle série Paris 1877 tome II pp. 175-215<br />–<em>Œuvres complètes</em> Poésie III éd.
