Quote #10
I've pinned lines from the Victor Hugo poem above my desk and that they have helped me plan the future: The breeze that takes you lifts me up alive, And I'll follow those I loved, I the exile. (58.33)
These lines of Hugo's poem are read at Hoyt's funeral, and Pearl writes them down for herself later on. It's fitting that the poem talks about following people you love because that's exactly what Pearl did with Amiel during the fire, and what she plans to do at the end of the book as well. That's her idea of love.
