The Little Monster | Le Petit Monstre

By: Léopold Chauveau
Translated by: Nat Paterson

Le Petit Monstre | The Little Monster

By: Léopold Chauveau

Le petit monstre n’était pas né comme un enfant des hommes, criant de froid et de terreur au sortir du ventre maternel. Il avait pris vie peu à peu, sur la haute selle à trois pieds, et quand ses yeux s’étaient ouverts, ils avaient rencontré ceux du sculpteur aux larges épaules, qui le regardaient tendrement.
