Orion's Belt (Victor Hugo)

  One time, however, he lifted his eyes toward space and tried to perceive the three stars that are in the belt of Orion; these stars are called the Three Magi, and an old proverb from ancient Spanish pilots says, Whosoever sees the three magi is not far from the Savior.
