Dieu ("God", 1891) is a long religious epic by Victor Hugo, parts of which were written between 1855 and 1862. It was left unfinished, and published after his death.
When it was rejected by his publisher in 1857, Hugo tried to integrate it into Petites Epopées (later La Légende des siècles), eventually announcing that it would form a companion work, along with La Fin de Satan. He had stopped work entirely by 1862, and while the result is fairly coherent, it is less complete than either of the other works, lacking even opening lines.
The first part is entitled Ascension dans les Ténèbres ("Ascent into the Shadows") or Le Seuil du gouffre ("The Threshold of the Abyss"). The poet encounters a being which identifies itself as the Human Spirit: an embodiment of mediocrity, middlingness, of humanity en masse. After the spirit questions him on his motives for coming to this place, the narrator calls out into the void, and soon believes he can make out a multitude of indistinct faces blocking out the depths, from which he hears mysterious voices, possibly demonic, which provide worldly, agnostic, "sensible" advice at great length, and advise the human poet not to bother with ultimate questions ("L'absolu vous ignore. Ignorez-le.") When he reacts with indignation and despair, they respond with inscrutable laughter.

donne-moi, je t'en prie, donne-moi
du soleil pour r?chauffer mon c?ur
pour calmer ma douleur
et mes angoisses, j'ai besoin de toi
dieu, faut-il que l'on abuse
de ton nom, qu'on se serve de toi
que des gens que tu ne connais pas
disent Dieu a dit ?a
il faut le faire, je ne les crois pas
dieu, pour moi tu es un autre
tu n'es ce qu'on veut que tu sois
tu me donnes la force et la foi
quand souvent je me noie
et que je tombe, tu me rel?ve, dieu
je ne vois pas ton visage
j'aimerais que tu viennes ici bas
nous parler et nous montrer la voie
on a besoin de toi, de quelque chose
o? te caches-tu ? dieu
dieu, je te cherche et je doute
mes amis se passent bien de toi
mais, j'ai en moi, cette petite voix
si tu n'existes pas
