To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better. Above the scales there’s the lyre.
[Mettre tout en équilibre, c’est bien; mettre tout en harmonie, c’est mieux. Au-dessus de la balance il y a la lyre.]
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Ninety-Three [Quatrevingt-Treize], Part 3, Book 7, ch. 5 (1874) [tr. (1962)]
