【Tomorrow at Dawn (Demain, dès l'aube)】
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Tomorrow, at dawn, when the countryside brightens,
I will depart. You see, I know that you wait for me.
I will go through the woods, I will go past the mountains.
I cannot remain far from you any longer.
I will walk, eyes set upon my thoughts,
Seeing nothing around me and hearing no sound,
Alone, unknown, back bent, hands crossed,
Sorrowful, and for me, day will be as night.
I will not watch the evening gold fall,
Nor the distant sails going down to Harfleur,
And, when I arrive, I will put on your grave
A bouquet of green holly and heather in bloom.

【《明天破晓》】
(法国)胜利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒)
【红霞译】
明天，破晓时分，当乡间泛白，
我将出发。我知道你已在等我。
我要穿过森林，翻越山脉。
我无法再离你远去。
我边走边陷入沉思，
对身外之物不见不闻，
孤身独行，鲜为人知，驼着背，叉着手，
伤心难过，白昼于我暗如黑夜。
我不去看夕阳洒落的金色余晖，
也不去看远航阿弗勒尔“海湾”的船帆，
等到的时候，我会在你的墓前放上
一束翠绿的冬青和盛开的石南花。
〖注〗《明天破晓(Demain d'aube)》也许是雨果最著名的诗作，这是写给已去世四年的时为19岁新婚女儿“勇敢者”(Léopoldine)。1843年，Léopoldine及其丈夫在塞纳河划船中不幸溺水身亡。
【注】法国17世纪梅多克“中原”堡地处西欧最大河口——吉伦特“圆润”河口(Gironde Estuary)的左岸，是路易“名将”十四的可靠顾问——“尊者·神父·沃邦”(Sébastien le Prestre de Vauban)设计构建的，旨在保护圆润河口免受英国入侵，防止敌船继续沿河向位于上游的地区首府波尔多“水边”(Bordeaux)进发，毕竟河道的长宽度足以成为内陆海军突袭的目标。由于当时大炮的射程无法覆盖整个河流(3公里/1.9英里)，沃邦又设计了其它两座堡垒：右岸1.4公里/0.9英里外的布莱“咽喉”堡(Citadel of Blaye)和1.9公里/1.2英里外的佩特“磐石”堡(Fort-Paté)，三座堡垒联成一线，通过建立交叉火力来共同保护河口，阻止敌人抵达水边城，以此产生极具威慑力的防御系统。
2008年，中原堡因与咽喉堡和磐石堡同属“沃邦防御工事”群而被列入联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》。
