If ever there was a spot on earth which deserved Dante's motto of Erebus "Voi qui entrate, lasciate agui speranza" it was the revolutionary tribunal. Despair was written all over it in characters impossible to be mistaken.
"Oh, that's true of every thing that is good for any thing." "Unfortunately the converse is not true, for every thing appealing to a small audience is by no means good." "Not even marriage?" "Still harping on matrimony," said Helen, laughing. "What will you do after the knot is really tied? You speak in the mournful tone of one who reads 'Lasciate ogni speranza' upon his wedding horseshoe."
Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate: the delusive doors bore no such inscription; and yet behind them Hell yawned.
Several of us mentally repeated that melancholy line from Dante Lasciate ogni speranza voi che entrate; and not a few pictured to themselves a body of troops visiting these sands half a century later, and finding the bones of Cavaignac's army scattered here and there over the plains.
Nor was the Italian general in any hurry to repress such proceedings. “Lasciate il popolo sfogarsir,” coolly said Cadorna to the parties who entreated him to put an end to such horrors. This general and the men with whom he acted were only robbers on a greater scale. Their commissioners lost not a moment.
