Stran 172 - 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...
Stran 120 - Figure ; through whose black brows, and rude flattened face {figure 6cras£e), there looks a waste energy as of Hercules not yet furibund, — he is an esurient, unprovided Advocate ; Danton by name : him mark. Then that other, his slight-built comrade and craft-brother; he with the long curling locks; with the face of dingy blackguardism, wondrously irradiated with genius, as if a naphtha-lamp burnt within it : that Figure is Camille Desmoulins.
Stran 167 - ... in this its last hour, as we said, by mere Chaos come again! Ordnance of all calibres; throats of all capacities; men of all plans, every man his own engineer: seldom since the war of Pygmies and Cranes was there seen so anomalous a thing. Half-pay Elie is home for a suit of regimentals; no one would heed him in coloured clothes: half-pay Hulin is haranguing Gardes Francaises in the Place de Greve.
Stran 33 - 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.
Stran 165 - Old De Launay, as we hinted, withdrew "into his interior" soon after midnight of Sunday. He remains there ever since, hampered, as all military gentlemen now are, in the saddest conflict of uncertainties. The H6tel-de-Ville "invites" him to admit National Soldiers, which is a soft name for surrendering. On the other hand, His Majesty's orders were precise.
Stran 18 - Of hunger:"— the King gave his steed the spur. But figure his thought, when Death is now clutching at his own heart-strings ; unlocked for, inexorable ! Yes, poor Louis, Death has found thee. No palace walls or life-guards, gorgeous tapestries or gilt buckram of stiffest ceremonial could keep him out ; but he is here, here at thy very life-breath, and will extinguish it. Thou, whose whole existence hitherto was a chimera and scenic show, at length becomest a reality : sumptuous Versailles bursts...
Stran 157 - Also as hinted, an order to all Smiths to make pikes with their whole soul. Heads of Districts are in fervent consultation ; subordinate Patriotism roams distracted, ravenous for arms. Hitherto at the H6tel-de-Ville was only such modicum of indifferent firelocks as we have seen. At the so-called Arsenal, there lies nothing but rust, rubbish, and saltpetre, — overlooked too by the guns of the Bastille. His Majesty's Repository, what they call Garde-Meuble, is forced and ransacked : tapestries enough...
Stran 186 - Sansculottism; recognize 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...
Stran 170 - The poor Invalides have sunk under their battlements, or rise only with reversed muskets : they have made a white flag of napkins ; go beating the chamade, or seeming to beat, for one can hear nothing. The very Swiss at the Portcullis look weary of firing ; disheartened in the fire-deluge : a porthole at the drawbridge is opened, as by one that would speak. See Huissier Maillard, the shifty man ! On his plank, swinging over the abyss of that...
Stran 13 - ... spiritual supersensual matters no Belief is possible. Unhappy ! Nay, as yet the Contradiction of a Lie is some kind of Belief ; but the Lie with its Contradiction once swept away, what will remain ? The five unsatiated Senses will remain, the sixth insatiable Sense (of vanity) ; the whole...
