Read about Demaçi through an interview with his biographer, Shkëlzen Gashi, A man and a woman mingled into one angel. "Oh! love!" said she, and her voice trembled, and her eye beamed. "Yes," replied the gypsy "it is to be brother and sister two souls which touch without mingling, two fingers on one hand." "Do you know what friendship is?" he asked. She gazed fixedly at him again, and said, after a momentary reflection, "Perhaps." This "perhaps," so dear to philosophers, emboldened Gringoire. The young girl looked at him intently, and said, "No." Moreover, Gringoire did not give her time to resume her revery. "She is hungry," said Gringoire, charmed to enter into conversation.Įsmeralda began to crumble some bread, which Djali ate gracefully from the hollow of her hand. "What dost thou want, Djali?" said the gypsy, hastily, as though suddenly awakened. Excerpt from Hugo's romance novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame
