Autour de lui, le silence de la terreur et du respect.... C'est alors qu'il repondait aux questions, annoncait l'avenir, le destin des batailles, la volonte des dieux; et, chose etonnante! au sein de ce delire, de cet enthousiasme religieux, son langage etait grave, imposant, son eloquence noble et persuasive."
He gazed at me with those black, burning eyes of his, and then as if speaking to himself, repeated those lines of Ronsard's about Mary Stuart: Elle était de ce monde où les plus belles choses Ont le pire destin; Et, rose, elle a vécu ce que vivent les roses, L'espace d'un matin. His voice was music when he spoke these words, for he felt them.
I can only combat it by the idea of duty; it is as the poet has said: "Ceux qui vivent, ce sont ceux qui luttent; ce sont Ceux dont un dessein ferme emplit l'ame et le front, Ceux qui d'un haut destin gravissent l'apre cime, Ceux qui marchent pensifs, epris d'un but sublime, Ayant devant les yeux sans cesse, nuit et jour, Ou quelque saint labeur ou quelque grand amour!" Five o'clock.
De Catt the Reader, entering to him that evening as usual, the King advanced, in a tragic declamatory attitude; and gave him, with proper voice and gesture, an appropriate passage of Racine: "Enfin apres un an, tu me revois, Arbate, Non plus comme autrefois cet heureux Mithridate, Qui, de Rome toujours balancant le destin, Tenait entre elle et moi l'univers incertain.
"Elle etait de ce monde ou coucous et carrosses Ont le meme destin; Et, rosse, elle a vecu ce que vivant les rosses, L'espace d'un matin!" "Poor horse!" sighed Fantine. And Dahlia exclaimed: "There is Fantine on the point of crying over horses. How can one be such a pitiful fool as that!"
He read, with a strange feeling of unwilling fascination, from "Horresco referens" to "Bis medium amplexi," and flung the book from him, as if its leaves had been steeped in the subtle poisons that princes die of. "Que la volonte soit le destin!" Long had she sat, crouched upon her breast, crouched, but not for slumber or for spring.
"Si ce livre unit le destin De David et de l'Aretin, Dans leur merveilleuse science, Lecteur n'en sois pas empeche Qui paraphrase le peche Paraphrase la penitence." Utterly venal and unscrupulous, we find him at one time enjoying the patronage of Francis I. of France, and then abusing that monarch and basking in the favour of the Emperor Charles V., who paid him more lavishly.
The issue of October 15, 1794, contained a report by Merlin de Thionville proving that the captain of the vessel le Destin had received orders to embark forty-one victims to be drowned ``among them a blind man of 78, twelve women, twelve girls, and fourteen children, of whom ten were from 10 to 6 and five at the breast. Carrier was tried to satisfy the reaction of Thermidor.
La Pierre philosophale des dames, ou les Caprices de l'amour et du destin, by Louis Adrien Duperron de Castera, , 12mo. I have not seen a copy of the book. Mrs. E. Griffith's comment on the work is typical of the tendency to moralize even the amusements of the day. See A Collection of Novels, , II, 162.
"J'ai servi, commandé, vaincu quarante années; Du monde entre mes mains j'ai tu les destinées, Et j'ai toujours connu qu'en chaque événement Le destin des états dépendait d'un moment." But he had hours, we might say days, to settle his destiny, and was not tied down to a moment.
