LAS GRANDES OBRAS SON
DE CIRCUMSTANCES

Las obras de Victor Hugo fueron
obras de las circumstances y de cada mo-
mento. Hay quien cree que ell arte debe
ser como un punteo en- la guitarra, olvi-
dando que 81 el arte tiene su raz6n de
ser es porque ell arte es eminentemenie
social, y debe ir undo a todas y cada
una de las aspiraciones de la humanidad
(aplausos). Victor Hugo no Sc encerr6
en- sn torre de marM como esos articles
que desdenan mezclarse con ell pueblo.
Sus obras, 10 repito, fueron obras de cir
cunstancias, y Goethe ha dicho que las
obras mas grandes que la humanidad ha
producido, han sido obras de circunstan-
cias. La humanidad es la que mas tarde.
dando su juicio, las inmortaliza 8 no. ka
