—Cosette, Les Miserables

“She gave anyone who saw her a sensation of April and of dawn. There was dew in her eyes. Cosette was a condensation of auroral light in womanly form”

“…she ransacked every thicket and turned over every stone, she sought for "animals; she played while she dreamed; she loved this garden for the insects which she found in the grass under her feet, while she loved it for the stars which she saw in the branches over her head.”

“We might say of Cosette that she was pellucid.”
