Victor Hugo French Manuscript text c. 1895?

Hello all, I hope you are doing well!

This manuscript draft was written by Victor Hugo for his work "God". I believe it's a line from the poem but I don't know which part it could be? It's very difficult to translate for me. Thank you all for any help if you have any luck! Thank you

I will have a look, but the date is improbable, as Victor Hugo died on 22 May 1885.

Yes my apologize Rene. I meant to say around 1885 near his death. Typo mistake

That's what they call a terrible handwriting! I guess our friend Victor didn't want others to read his poems before he had finished them.

I managed to find a few lines. I hope you or others can find some more.

I found the complete poem here:

part 1: https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Le_Seuil_du_gouffre

part 2: https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/L%E2%80%99Oc%C3%A9an_d%E2%80%99en_haut

The lines I found all come from the second part.

line 2 & 3: Ta broche plie, offrant les lièvres et les cailles.
À la bûche qui rit, monstre aux rouges écailles,

line 11 & 12: Où l’oiseau fume, où flambe l’orme,
Est un des trous béants de la fournaise énorme !

last line: Aux mâchoires de feu de l’âtre qui se creuse !
