Página 236 - Mounted, some say, on the roof of the guardroom, some ' on bayonets stuck into joints of the wall,' Louis Tournay smites, brave Aubin Bonnemere (also an old soldier) seconding him : the chain yields, breaks ; the huge Drawbridge slams down, thundering (avec fracas).
Página 239 - Hulin rage in the midst of thousands. How the great Bastille Clock ticks (inaudible) in its Inner Court there, at its ease, hour after hour; as if nothing special, for it or the world, were passing! It tolled One when the firing began; and is now pointing towards Five, and still the firing slakes not.— Far down, in their vaults, the seven Prisoners hear muffled din as of earthquakes; their Turnkeys answer vaguely.
Página 243 - O evening sun of July, how, at this hour, thy beams fall slant on reapers amid peaceful woody fields ; on old women spinning in cottages ; on ships far out in the silent main...
Página 176 - But now if Mirabeau is the greatest, who of these Six Hundred may be the meanest ? Shall we say, that anxious, slight, ineffectual-looking man, under thirty, in spectacles ; his eyes (were the glasses off) troubled, careful; with upturned face, snuffing dimly the uncertain future time ; complexion of a multiplex atrabiliar color, the final shade of which may be the pale sea-green.1 That greenish-colored (verddtre) individual is an Advocate of Arras ; his name is Maximilien Robespierre.
Página 238 - These wave their town-flag in the arched gateway; and stand, rolling their drum; but to no purpose. In such crack of doom, De Launay cannot hear them, dare not believe them; they return, with justified rage, the whew of lead still singing in their ears. What to do? The firemen are here, squirting with their fire-pumps on the invalides cannon to wet the touch holes; they unfortunately cannot squirt so high; but produce only clouds of spray.
Página 46 - Meanwhile it is singular how long the rotten will hold together, provided you do not handle it roughly. For whole generations it continues standing, ' with a ghastly affectation of life,' after all life and truth has fled out of it : so loth are men to quit their old ways ; and, conquering indolence and inertia, venture on new.
Página 233 - And so, with such protracted crash of deafening, most discordant Orchestra-music, the Scene is changed; and eight-and-twenty thousand sufficient firelocks are on the shoulders of as many National Guards, lifted thereby out of darkness into fiery light. Let Besenval look at the glitter of these muskets, as they flash by! Gardes Francaises, it is said, have cannon levelled on him; ready to open, if need were, from the other side of the River. Motionless sits he; "astonished," one may flatter oneself,...
Página 234 - ... national soldiers, which is a soft name for surrendering. On the other hand, his majesty's orders were precise. His garrison is but eighty-two old invalides, reinforced by thirty-two young Swiss; his walls indeed are nine feet thick, he has cannon and powder; but alas, only one day's provision of victuals. The city too is French, the poor garrison mostly French. Rigorous old De Launay, think what thou wilt do! All morning, since nine, there has been a cry everywhere: To the Bastille! Repeated...
Página 245 - Most Blessed Trinity, that I could have news of my dear ' wife ; were it only her name on a card, to show that she ' is alive ! It were the greatest consolation I could receive ; ' and I should forever bless the greatness of Monseigneur.
Página 223 - ON Monday the huge City has awoke, not to its week-day industry : to what a different one ! The working man has become a fighting man ; has one want only : that of arms.
