I have married a wife celestial by her virtues; I have been a good husband, a good son; I would have been also a good father. I carry with me the esteem and the regrets of all true republicans, of all lovers of virtue and liberty...
Oh, my dear Lucile, I was born to make verses, to defend the unhappy, to render thee happy, to compose with they mother and thy father and a few more after our own heart...I have dreamed of a Republic which all the world would have adored. I could never have believed that men could be so ferocious and so unjust.
