“Of Fantine I say nothing. She is a dreamer, a sensitive soul, a wraith shaped like a nymph with the downcast eyes of a nun who has drifted into the life of a grisette but takes refuge in illusion. She sings and prays, looks heavenward without much knowing what she sees or does, strays in a garden where there are more birds than exist in life.”
