Semblant protégée par la nature, la cathédrale d’Albi émerge de la canopée telle un navire flottant au gré du vent d’Autan. Même au coeur de la ville, je cherche et je suis attiré par la nature. C’est là que je me sens le mieux. Même si je ne pourrai pas vivre au milieu des champs, j’en ai besoin pour respirer, pour méditer, pour prier et surtout pour rêver. Avec l’âge, est-ce le côté contemplatif qui émerge en moi ? #nature #albi #contemplation #contemplatif #urbain #cathédrale #naturephotography #naturelovers #meditation (à Cathédrale d'Albi) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cftq5ZZDVk9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Les Misérables, 4.2.2

The Patron-Minette are back for this chapter, and now we get to know what happened to them after the disastrous Gorbeau ambush!

Initially, we learn that it was not only the mysterious "Urbain Fabre" who managed to avoid the clutches of the police that fateful night. In fact, 2/4 of the Patron-Minette's ringleaders actually avoided jail too!

First, there is Montparnasse— who "had escaped Javert" thanks to his languid nature and lustful desires (the reference to "Nemorin" made here indicates that Montparnasse and Éponine spent the evening doing much more than talking... Hugo is actually implying that they slept together!). Javert's annoyance over not being able to nab him does partially indicate this young criminal's serious reputation though... he even appears to have a street name for himself: the “devil’s dandy”!

It is Claquesous' escape which is far more compelling, however, seeing as he was originally arrested with the other criminals... but somehow "melted into the shadows like a snow-flake in water" on his way to prison!

With this unexplained disappearance, we begin to learn that Claquesous might not be quite as mysterious as Hugo initially described him... Well, perhaps I should say that Claquesous' mysterious nature shifts away from the supernatural and instead transforms into something very human... It definitely seems odd that the police agents and sergeants all managed to lose him. Javert is certainly right to raise his suspicions about this masked rouge (and we should keep them in mind in future chapters)!

If we are to believe that Claquesous is a double agent who might be working with the police, we are again provided with another example of the Patron-Minette's criminals being linked to certain political organisations and other related groups (the first instance being present in Gueulemer's description, where it is hinted to that he was involved with the royalist mob who assassinated Marshall Brune in 1815).

Outside of the continued presence of Patron-Minette's four figureheads in this chapter, a rather intriguing, previously unassuming criminal affiliate steps into the spotlight: Brujon! And— my goodness— what a performance he puts on in La Force. Again, crime continues to take on a theatrical twist here— not only does Brujon act in a certain way to deceive guards, but Hugo again explicitly compares criminals and artists:

Robbers do not interrupt their profession because they are in the hands of justice. They do not let themselves be put out by such a trifle as that. To be in prison for one crime is no reason for not beginning on another crime. They are artists, who have one picture in the salon, and who toil, nonetheless, on a new work in their studios.

The fleeting reference to Brujon's father's name being carved on the walls of the prison is a great minor detail that I particularly enjoy. Not only does it give us a glimpse of the Brujon "dynasty" that Hugo has previously mentioned to readers, but it also connects concepts of legacy and criminality, with this signature being one of the "souvenirs of La Force".

The references to some of the even more minor Patron-Minette affiliates sprinkled throughout this chapter (Kruideniers, Glorieux, Barre-Carosse) and other related connections (Babet's mistress, Magnon, Éponine) also give invaluable insights into how the gang operates and organises itself... and it is interesting (and important!) to note how women are involved in these criminal practices too!

One last point: Babet's mistress resides in La Salpêtrière, a hospital that housed "hysterical" women and also held illegal prostitutes in this period. Regardless of whether this unnamed woman was deemed to be "hysterical" or if she is being imprisoned for being an unregistered prostitute, the detail implies that Babet is likely exploiting her. It also links back to the cut Patron-Minette chapters, where Hugo talks in depth about the relationship between thieves and prostitutes.

La principale fonction de l’écologisme est de distraire.

De quoi?

Du véritable enjeu qui n’est pas "la planète" (qui nous a précédé et nous survivra...) mais les enfants appelés à vivre sur cette Terre, et à qui le discours capitaliste dont se soutient l’idéologie fait croire entre autres que l’humain influe sur le climat, et aussi que la différence sexuelle, ça n’existe pas, qu’il n’y a désormais plus aucun effort à fournir pour devenir des hommes, que la culture ça pend aux arbres, et que c’est pour cette raison que l’idée de l’arbre, ça passe avant les trumains, ce qui n’empêche pas que les mairies et autres institutions publiques soi-disant écologistes les coupent à tour de bras, plus souvent qu’à leur tour, causant ainsi le réchauffement urbain)…

L’avantage de dire se préoccuper en toute priorité de "Mère-Nature" c’est qu’on peut continuer longtemps de se payer de mots (Yaka, Fokon...) sans avoir à examiner sa propre position subjective, ses énoncés et leur rapport à l’énonciation… qui parle? d’où ça parle?
