[Fr., Je crains Dieu, cher Abner, et n'ai point d'autre crainte.] - Athalie (act I, sc. 1) [God] A single word often betrays a great design. [Fr., Souvent d'un grand dessein un mot nous fait juger.] - Athalie (II, 6) [Words] The happiness of the wicked flows away as a torrent. [Fr., Le bonheur des mechants comme un torrent s'ecoule.] - Athalie (II, 7) [Happiness] And greedy Acheron does not relinquish its prey. [Fr., Et l'avare Acheron ne lache pas sa proie.] - Phedre (act II, sc. 5) [Death] Disagreeable suspicions are usually the fruits of a second marriage.
