Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wandering Jew, Vol. 3 Eight days have elapsed since Rodin was smitten with the cholera, whose ravages continued to increase most alarmingly. What a terrible period it was! A veil of mourning was spread over Paris, formerly so joyous. Yet never was the weather more delightful, the sky more blue and unchanging; never did the sun shine with greater radiance. This inexorable serenity of nature, during the ravages of a deadly scourge, offered a strange and mysterious contrast. The dazzling light of a brilliant sun rendered yet more visible the change of features caused by the thousand agonies of fear; for every one was aghast - some for themselves, some for beloved connexions; countenances betrayed an expression of disquiet, amaze, and feverishness; steps were hasty, as if by walking faster they had a chance of escaping the peril; and then, too, they were hurried, in order the more quickly to reach home. They left life, health, and happiness, in their dwellings, and two hours afterwards, on returning, they but too frequently found agony, despair, death. At each moment new and sinister events struck the sight. Now there passed along the streets carts laden with coffins symmetrically piled up. They stopped at every door where men dressed in grey and black were standing; they extended their arms, and conveyed a coffin - perhaps two - often three and four, into the same house, until the carts were exhausted: and yet all the dead were not supplied.
