Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Madame Lafarge
In the solitude of my prison I have forgotten my suffer ings, in order to return With you into the feelings of my life. I have disclosed to you all my joys, all my griefs, all my tears. I have remembered, wept, and written. I have not asked of God to make me eloquent, but I have prayed that he would endue all my recollections with charity and truth, and that he would give to my words the power of persuasion - of conviction. If you shall approve what I have done; if it shall have strengthened a single belief, or have reclaimed a wavering mind, my object Will have been accomplished.
My generous friends, you who have withheld me from despair, by placing my honour under the safeguard of your conviction, who have become the guardians of my unhappi ness, may you be a thousand times rewarded!
