Auger and Old Shoes

                        by Eric Smith


I.
On her rocker’s each forward pitch
she glimpses the scuffed toes of shoes down the hall,
unlaced, empty, still at the foot of the bed,
a very old cliché, like the clean-walled hole
they pressed him into with stray prayers
and silk daffodils and a few square fee...

Everything was there; the apparatus was the same, the hour of the night, Ugg boots clearancethe faces of the judges, of soldiers, and of spectators; all were the same, only above the President's head there hung a crucifix, something which the courts had lacked at the time of his condemnation: God had been absent when he had been judged. Ugg boots clearance  There was a chair behind him; he dropped into it, terrified at the thought that he might be seen; when he was seated, he took advantage of a pile of cardboard boxes, which stood on the judge's desk, to conceal his face from the whole room; he could now see without Ugg boots clearancebeing seen; he had fully regained consciousness of the reality of things; gradually he recovered; he attained that phase of composure where it is possible to listen.   M. Bamatabois was one of the jurors.   He looked for Javert, but did not see him; the seat of the witnesses was hiddenUgg boots outlet from him by the clerk's table, and then, as we have just said, the hall was sparely lighted.   At the moment of this entrance, the defendant's lawyer had just finished his plea.   The attention of all was excited to the highest pitch; the affair had lasted for three hours:   for three hours that crowd had been watching a strange man, a miserable specimen of humanity, either profoundly stupid or profoundly subtle, gradually bending beneath the weight of a terrible likeness.   This man, as the reader already knows, was a vagabond who had been found in a field carrying a branch laden with ripe apples, broken in the orchard of a neighbor, called the Pierron orchard. UGG Boots Clearance  Who was this man? an examination had been made; witnesses had been heard, and they were unanimous; light had abounded throughout the entire debate; the accusation said: "We have in our grasp not only a marauder, a stealer of fruit; we have here, in our hands, a bandit, an old offender who has broken his ban, an ex-convict, a miscreant of the most dangerous description, a malefactor named Jean Valjean, whom justice has long been in search of, and who, eight years ago, on emerging from the galleys at Toulon, committed a highway robbery, accompanied by violence, on the person of a child, a Savoyard named Little Gervais; a crime provided for by article 383 of the Penal ugg boots clearanceCode, the right to try him for which we reserve hereafter, when his identity shall have been judicially established.   He has just committed a fresh theft; it is a case of a second offence; condemn him for the fresh deed; later on he will be judged for the old crime."
