‘I have done badly,’ he had written [in the preface of Organt]; ‘but I shall be able to do better.’ He had made that the rule of his life. He had sent away his mistress, and forsworn women. He had atoned for the robbery of his home by public incorruptibility. The writer of indecent verse had become the preacher of a virtuous republic. Only, through it all he had kept, as a symbol of his unalterable pride, the smart coat and the high collar. They had been through strange experiences—battles and executions, committees and speeches, cruel attacks and heroic defences, flattery and hatred, success suddenly changed into failure. To leap to fame at twenty-three, and to die in infamy at twenty-seven—that was his career. There was no one with more to give to his country—youth, courage, ability, and enthusiasm: yet there was not one of its instruments that the blind force of the Revolution more contemptuously used, and broke, and flung aside.


Leaders of the French Revolution (J. M. Thompson)
