nd thought of Marius among the ruins
of Carthage. Had she not outlived her creed, and the beliefs that had
been destroyed? She is a sad and silent woman, with nothing of her
old beauty left except the eyes, that shine with an unearthly light. I
watched her on her way to mass, with her book in her hand, and could not
help thinking that she prayed to God to take her out of the world."

LES JARDIES, July 1837.
