“This book is a drama whose main character is the infinite. Man is the secondary character. That being the case, since there was a convention along the way we had to enter it. Why? . . . (It) is one of the optical devices through which man views the infinite. . . We must say that every time we encounter in man the infinite we have a feeling of respect. . . . and a hideous aspect we loathe.” Victor Hugo Les Mis.
