The Boulanger March, with its song, "En revenant de la revue," was played and sung in all the cafés chantants of Paris. The general rode a black horse as handsome as himself. Some one has said, "As a political factor, Boulanger was born of a horse and a song." In 1886 he advocated the exile of the Orleans princes and the erasure of the Duc d'Aumale's name from the list of French generals.
It may not be too great a flight of imagination to conceive our noble 'revenant' not forgetful of the great troubles of his own day, and anxious to know how often London had been burned down since his time, and how often the plague had carried off its thousands.
There was a long silence. "I think," the Gadfly said slowly, "that the dead are better dead. Forgetting some things is a difficult matter. And if I were in the place of your dead friend, I would s-s-stay dead. The REVENANT is an ugly spectre." She put the portrait back into its drawer and locked the desk. "That is hard doctrine," she said. "And now we will talk about something else."
I confess this idea appeals to me. It accounts for the undoubted fact that certain old rooms are undeniably creepy; also that apparitions, unconnected with actual flesh and blood, have been seen by sane and trustworthy witnesses. It does away with the French word for ghost revenant.
Really, Count, it is a little too bad to take you for a revenant; don't you think so?" "Perhaps," the Count replied; "I really may have something more or less ghostly about me. A good deal is being said nowadays, about people who, by virtue of some peculiar psychical quality, possess the power of influencing others, so that they experience very remarkable effects.
She had fainted away with fear; and, when she recovered, she found herself in the dark, and the figure was gone. 'Sacre cochon bleu! exclaimed Fatout, giving very deliberate emphasis to every portion of his terrible oath 'I vould not meet de revenant, de ghost non not for all de bowl-de-ponch in de vorld. 'Fatout, said the Honourable Mr Listless, 'did I ever see a ghost?
At the side of the road, under a huge maple- tree with wide-spreading branches, Charley stood and watched John Brown performing behind the flaring oil-lights stuck on poles round his wagon, his hat now on, now off; now singing a comic song in English -'I found Y' in de Honeysuckle Paitch; now a French chanson 'En Revenant de St.
"En revenant vers Elbingerode, nous retrouvâmes ces schistes, qui paroissent au travers des marbres: ils sont donc la continuation de la masse schisteuse
The struggle against the German political present is the struggle against the past of modern nations, which are still vexed by the recollections of this past. For them it is instructive to see the ancien régime, which enacted its tragedy with them, playing its comedy as the German revenant.
Something about him, one fancies, would make an English child think of the "White Knight" in Alice Through the Looking Glass, so helpless and simple he looks, this poor "Revenant," propped up by Youthful Imagination, and with the dews of night upon his armour. You may leave these pictures far behind you as you re-cross the Channel, but you can never quite forget El Greco.
