Among them, however, there is really some satisfaction in hinting at the hangman! For, hear it, ye sanguinary manes of our ancestors: "Les bourreaux s'en vont!" Executioners are departing! We shall shortly have to commemorate in our obituaries, and signalize by the hands of our novelists "the last of the Jack Ketches."
I dare not breathe for fear of putting the dream to flight a dream traversed by angels. "Comme autrefois j'entends dans l'ether infini La musique du temps et l'hosanna des mondes." V. Scene v.

In these lines I believed that I discerned the very God of the universe, the God whom men worship Dans les infames jeux de leur divin loisir Le supplice de l'homme est leur premier plaisir. Pour que leur oeil feroce a l'envi s'en repaisse Des bourreaux devant eux en immolent sans cesse.

This world was, in fact, to her, as it was said to be to Ḳuddus, a mere handful of dust.
