Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Maximilian I: A Conflict Between the Old World and the New, Tragedy in Four Acts Scene I. Library in the Tuileries. Napoleon III. Later his Body Servant. Napoleon [seated at his work table.] That is the plan, arisen from the haze Of doubt and hesitation; that will do. For every case that I can think of now I plainly see my way; see how it winds Through difficulties, failures and delays Until it leads me to the glorious goal, And for the unexpected turns of fate I see a by-way for a safe escape. Jean. The night has passed, the sun is rising bright, And yet your Majesty has had no rest. Indeed, I fear the public welfare is Too dearly bought with your imperial health. Napoleon. Thanks, good old Jean, for all your honest care; But work that ripens and promotes our plans Refreshes more than dead and heavy sleep; And moderation, both in sleep and meals, Gives us a mental strength that well befits A monarch watching over Europe´s peace. I feel so strong to-day that with this hand I could destroy and crush a mighty realm To reconstruct it on a better plan.
