• The blind clairvoyance of the Revolution, breaking royalty in the King and the King with royalty, did so almost without noticing the man in the fierce crushing of the idea, the vast storm of the Assembly-Tribunal, the public wrath interrogating, Capet not knowing what to reply, the alarming, stupefied vacillation by that royal head beneath that sombre breath, the relative innocence of all in that catastrophe, of those who condemned as well as of the man condemned,—he had looked on those things, he had contemplated that giddiness; he had seen the centuries appear before the bar of the Assembly-Convention; he had beheld, behind Louis XVI., that unfortunate passer-by who was made responsible, the terrible culprit, the monarchy, rise through the shadows; and there had lingered in his soul the respectful fear of these immense justices of the populace, which are almost as impersonal as the justice of God.

  La clairvoyance aveugle de la Révolution, brisant la royauté dans le roi et le roi avec la royauté, sans presque remarquer l'homme dans le farouche écrasement de l'idée, le vaste orage de l'assemblée tribunal, la colère publique interrogeant, Capet ne sachant que répondre, l'effrayante vacillation stupéfaite de cette tête royale sous ce souffle sombre, l'innocence relative de tous dans cette catastrophe, de ceux qui condamnaient comme de celui qui était condamné, il avait regardé ces choses, il avait contemplé ces vertiges; il avait vu les siècles comparaître à la barre de la Convention; il avait vu, derrière Louis XVI, cet infortuné passant responsable, se dresser dans les ténèbres la formidable accusée, la monarchie; et il lui était resté dans l'âme l'épouvante respectueuse de ces immenses justices du peuple presque aussi impersonnelles que la justice de Dieu.
