BARONESS EMMUSKA ORCZY (MRS. MONTAGU BARSTOW)
English (Hungarian-born) novelist, playwright and artist (1865 - 1947)
|
|
A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human
only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage
creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance
and of hate. The hour, some little time before sunset, and the
place, the West Barricade, at the very spot where, a decade
later, a proud tyrant raised an undying monument to the nation's
glory and his own vanity.
