Chapter 3: 7.viii (1)

Finis.

Homer’s Epos, it is remarked, is like a Bas-relief sculpture: it
does not conclude, but merely ceases. Such, indeed, is the Epos
of Universal History itself. Directorates, Consulates,
Emperorships, Restorations, Citizen-Kingships succeed this
Business in due series, in due genesis one out of the other.
Nevertheless the First-parent of all these may be said to have
gone to air in the way we see. A Baboeuf Insurrection, next year,
will die in the birth; stifled by the Soldiery. A Senate, if
tinged with Royalism, can be purged by the Soldiery; and an
Eighteenth of Fructidor transacted by the mere shew of
bayonets.[784] Nay Soldiers’ bayonets can be used _à posteriori_
on a Senate, and make it leap out of window,—still bloodless; and
produce an Eighteenth of Brumaire.[785] Such changes must happen:
but they are managed by intriguings, caballings, and then by
orderly word of command; almost like mere changes of Ministry.
Not in general by sacred right of Insurrection, but by milder
methods growing ever milder, shall the Events of French history
be henceforth brought to pass.

It is admitted that this Directorate, which owned, at its
starting, these three things, an “old table, a sheet of paper,
and an ink-bottle,” and no visible money or arrangement
whatever,[786] did wonders: that France, since the Reign of
Terror hushed itself, has been a new France, awakened like a
giant out of torpor; and has gone on, in the Internal Life of it,
with continual progress. As for the External form and forms of
Life,—what can we say except that out of the Eater there comes
Strength; out of the Unwise there comes _not_ Wisdom! Shams are
burnt up; nay, what as yet is the peculiarity of France, the very
Cant of them is burnt up. The new Realities are not yet come: ah
no, only Phantasms, Paper models, tentative Prefigurements of
such! In France there are now Four Million Landed Properties;
that black portent of an Agrarian Law is as it were _realised._
What is still stranger, we understand all Frenchmen have “the
right of duel;” the Hackney-coachman with the Peer, if insult be
given: such is the law of Public Opinion. Equality at least in
death! The Form of Government is by Citizen King, frequently shot
at, not yet shot.

On the whole, therefore, has it not been fulfilled what was
prophesied, _ex-postfacto_ indeed, by the Archquack Cagliostro,
or another? He, as he looked in rapt vision and amazement into
these things, thus spake:[787] “Ha! What is _this?_ Angels,
Uriel, Anachiel, and the other Five; Pentagon of Rejuvenescence;
Power that destroyed Original Sin; Earth, Heaven, and thou Outer
Limbo, which men name Hell! Does the EMPIRE Of IMPOSTURE waver?
Burst there, in starry sheen updarting, Light-rays from out _its_
dark foundations; as it rocks and heaves, not in travail-throes,
but in death-throes? Yea, Light-rays, piercing, clear, that
salute the Heavens,—lo, they _kindle_ it; their starry clearness
becomes as red Hellfire!

“IMPOSTURE is in flames, Imposture is burnt up: one red sea of
Fire, wild-billowing enwraps the World; with its fire-tongue,
licks at the very Stars. Thrones are hurled into it, and Dubois
mitres, and Prebendal Stalls that drop fatness, and—ha! what see
I?—all the _Gigs_ of Creation; all, all! Wo is me! Never since
Pharaoh’s Chariots, in the Red-sea of water, was there wreck of
Wheel-vehicles like this in the Sea of Fire. Desolate, as ashes,
as gases, shall they wander in the wind.

Higher, higher yet flames the Fire-Sea; crackling with new
dislocated timber; hissing with leather and prunella. The metal
Images are molten; the marble Images become mortar-lime; the
stone Mountains sulkily explode. RESPECTABILITY, with all her
collected Gigs inflamed for funeral pyre, wailing, leaves the
earth: not to return save under new Avatar. Imposture, how it
burns, through generations: how it is burnt up; for a time. The
World is black ashes; which, ah, when will they grow green? The
Images all run into amorphous Corinthian brass; all Dwellings of
men destroyed; the very mountains peeled and riven, the valleys
black and dead: it is an empty World! Wo to them that shall be
born then!—A King, a Queen (ah me!) were hurled in; did rustle
once; flew aloft, crackling, like paper-scroll. Iscariot Egalité
was hurled in; thou grim De Launay, with thy grim Bastille; whole
kindreds and peoples; five millions of mutually destroying Men.
For it is the End of the Dominion of IMPOSTURE (which is Darkness
and opaque Firedamp); and the burning up, with unquenchable fire,
of all the Gigs that are in the Earth.” This Prophecy, we say,
has it not been fulfilled, is it not fulfilling?

And so here, O Reader, has the time come for us two to part.
Toilsome was our journeying together; not without offence; but it
is done. To me thou wert as a beloved shade, the disembodied or
not yet embodied spirit of a Brother. To thee I was but as a
Voice. Yet was our relation a kind of sacred one; doubt not that!
Whatsoever once sacred things become hollow jargons, yet while
the Voice of Man speaks with Man, hast thou not there the living
fountain out of which all sacrednesses sprang, and will yet
spring? Man, by the nature of him, is definable as “an incarnated
Word.” Ill stands it with me if I have spoken falsely: thine also
it was to hear truly. Farewell.

22 (return) One grudges to interfere with the beautiful theatrical “candle,” which Madame Campan (i. 79) has lit on this occasion, and blown out at the moment of death. What candles might be lit or blown out, in so large an Establishment as that of Versailles, no man at such distance would like to affirm: at the same time, as it was two o’clock in a May Afternoon, and these royal Stables must have been some five or six hundred yards from the royal sick-room, the “candle” does threaten to go out in spite of us. It remains burning indeed—in her fantasy; throwing light on much in those _Mémoires_ of hers.
