Here you will find the Poem As in a Pond of poet Victor Marie Hugo
As in a pond that sleeps o'erhung by trees, Two things at once in many a soul one sees :-- The sky, which points, the surface pure and calm, With all its rays and clouds the heart to charm; And then the depth, slime, hideous, dark, and dead, Where foul black reptiles swarm, and vaguely tread.
