Página 224 - Mounted, some say, on the roof of the guard-room, 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). Glorious; and yet, alas, it is still but the outworks. The eight grim towers, with their...
Página 347 - The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law.
Página 227 - 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 23 - Kingdoms yawn open; there must thou enter, naked, all unking'd, and await what is appointed thee ! Unhappy man, there as thou turnest in dull agony on thy bed of weariness, what a thought is thine ! Purgatory and Hell-fire, now all too possible in the prospect: in the retrospect, — alas, what thing didst thou do that were not better undone ; what mortal didst thou generously help; what sorrow hadst thou mercy on? Do the "five hundred thousand...
Página 225 - pale to the very lips,' for the roar of the multitude grows deep. Paris wholly has got to the acme of its frenzy ; whirled all ways, by panic madness. At every street-barricade, there whirls simmering, a minor whirlpool, — strengthening the barricade, since God knows what is coming ; and all minor whirlpools play distractedly into that grand Fire-Mahlstrom which is lashing round the Bastille. And so it lashes and it roars. Cholat the wine-merchant has become an impromptu cannoneer. See Georget,...
Página 216 - Freedom reach us ; when the long-enthralled soul, from amid its chains and squalid stagnancy, arises, were it still only in blindness and bewilderment, and swears by Him that made it, that it will be free ! Free ? Understand that well, it is the deep commandment, dimmer or clearer, of our whole being to be free. Freedom is the one purport, wisely aimed at, or unwisely, of all man's struggles, toilings and sufferings, in this Earth. Yes, supreme is such a moment (if thou have known it) : first vision...
Página 229 - Gluck confessed that the groundtone of the noblest passage, in one of his noblest Operas, was the voice of the Populace he had heard at Vienna, crying to their Kaiser : "Bread! Bread!" Great is the combined voice of men; the utterance of their instincts, which are truer than their thoughts: it is the greatest a man encounters, among the sounds and shadows which make up this World of Time.
Página 228 - Elie, half-pay 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 toward Five, and still the firing slakes not.
Página 250 - Sansculottism; recognise it for what it is, the portentous inevitable end of much, the miraculous beginning of much. One other thing thou mayest understand of it : that it too came from God ; for has it not been ? From of old, as it is written, are His goings forth ; in the great Deep of things ; fearful and wonderful now as in the beginning : in the whirlwind also He speaks ; and the wrath of men is made to praise Him.
Página 228 - Alight then, and give up your arms!" The Hussar-Captain is too happy to be escorted to the Barriers, and dismissed on parole. Who the squat individual was? Men answer, It is M. Marat, author of the excellent pacific Avis au Peuple!
