pillee

Updated: May 25, 2025

Restless wert thou in thy life; thy dust was not to be restful in thy death. The Huguenots, ces nouveaux Chretiens qui la France ont pillee, destroyed thy tomb, and the warning of the later monument, has not scared away malicious men. The storm that passed over France a hundred years ago, more terrible than the religious wars that thou didst weep for, has swept the column from the tomb.

Andrew Lang - Letters to Dead Authors

"Elle est bien habillee, La ville de Cambrai; Marafin l'a pillee..."* * The city of Cambrai is well dressed. Marafin plundered it. He did not finish.

Victor Hugo - Notre-Dame De Paris
