维克多·雨果就英法联军远征中国致巴特莱上尉的信 (英文版)

在世界的一隅，存在着人类的一大奇迹，这个奇迹就是
圆明园。……圆明园属于幻想艺术。一个近乎超人的民族
所能幻想到的一切都汇集于圆明园。圆明园是规模巨大的
幻想的原型，如果幻想也可以有原型的话。只要想象出一
种无法描绘的建筑物，那就是圆明园。假定有一座集人类想
象力之大成的灿烂宝窟，以宫殿庙宇的形象出现，那就是圆
明园。为了建造圆明园，人们经历了两代人的长期劳动。那
么这座像城池一般规模巨大，经过几世纪营造的园林究竟是
为谁而建的呢？为人类。因为时光的流逝会使一切都属于全
人类所有。……这一奇迹现已荡然无存。有一天，两个强盗
闯进了圆明园。一个强盗大肆掠劫，另一个强盗纵火焚烧。
……这两个强盗，一个叫法兰西，另一个叫英吉利。……我
渴望有一日法兰西能摆脱重负，清洗罪恶，将会把这些赃物
交还给被劫夺的中国！”
