Childhood of Art

There are refused revolutions, which are called riots.

An insurrection which breaks out...

is an idea which is passing its examination before the people.

The surface of the questions.

Of what is revolt composed?

Of nothing and of everything.

Of an electricity disengaged, little by little,

of a flame suddenly darting forth, of a wandering force, of a passing breath.

This breath encounters heads which speak,

brains which dream,

souls which suffer,

passions which burn,

wretchedness which howls, and bears them away.

- Whither? - At random.

The root of the matter.

There is such a thing as an uprising,

And there is such a thing as insurrection.

These are two phases of wrath.

One is in the wrong, the other is in the right.

The sound of right in movement is recognizable

There is no insurrection except in a forward direction.

Any other sort of rising is bad.

Every violent step towards the rear is a revolt.

Hence it results that...

If insurrection in given cases may be the most holy of duties

An uprising may be the most fatal of crimes.

Insurrection is sometimes resurrection.

All was over.

No more light was to be hoped for, except the lightning of guns,

no further encounter except the abrupt and rapid apparition of death.

Where? How? When?

No one knew, but it was certain and inevitable.

Will the future arrive?

It seems as though we might almost put this question,

when we behold so much terrible darkness.&

Melancholy face-to-face encounter of selfish and wretched.

Civil war�what does that mean?

Is there a foreign war?

War does not become a disgrace, the sword does not become a disgrace,

except when it is used for assassinating the right,

progress, reason, civilization, truth.

Then war, whether foreign or civil, is iniquitous; it is called crime.

The situation of all in that fatal hour and that pitiless place,

had as result and culminating point Enjolras� supreme melancholy.

All the...

tyrannies

The most terrible

is the...

The nose in the gutter,

That�s Rousseau�s fault .

Of all the tyrannies, the most terrible one is...

The one of...

The one of...

The one of ideas.

The right of not making war.
