Having
uttered
these
words
in
an
agitated
voice
the
Emperor
suddenly
turned
away
as
if
to
hide
from
Michaud
the
tears
that
rose
to
his
eyes
,
and
went
to
the
further
end
of
his
study
.
Having
stood
there
a
few
moments
,
he
strode
back
to
Michaud
and
pressed
his
arm
below
the
elbow
with
a
vigorous
movement
.
The
Emperor
's
mild
and
handsome
face
was
flushed
and
his
eyes
gleamed
with
resolution
and
anger
.
"
Colonel
Michaud
,
do
not
forget
what
I
say
to
you
here
,
perhaps
we
may
recall
it
with
pleasure
someday
...
Napoleon
or
I
,
"
said
the
Emperor
,
touching
his
breast
.
"
We
can
no
longer
both
reign
together
.
I
have
learned
to
know
him
,
and
he
will
not
deceive
me
any
more
...

And
the
Emperor
paused
,
with
a
frown
.
When
he
heard
these
words
and
saw
the
expression
of
firm
resolution
in
the
Emperor
's
eyes
,
Michaud
--
quoique
étranger
,
russe
de
cœur
et
d'âme
,
--
at
that
solemn
moment
felt
himself
enraptured
by
all
that
he
had
heard
(
as
he
used
afterwards
to
say
)
,
and
gave
expression
to
his
own
feelings
and
those
of
the
Russian
people
whose
representative
he
considered
himself
to
be
,
in
the
following
words
:
"
Sire
!
"
said
he
,
"
Your
Majesty
is
at
this
moment
signing
the
glory
of
the
nation
and
the
salvation
of
Europe
!
"
With
an
inclination
of
the
head
the
Emperor
dismissed
him
.

It
is
natural
for
us
who
were
not
living
in
those
days
to
imagine
that
when
half
Russia
had
been
conquered
and
the
inhabitants
were
fleeing
to
distant
provinces
,
and
one
levy
after
another
was
being
raised
for
the
defense
of
the
fatherland
,
all
Russians
from
the
greatest
to
the
least
were
solely
engaged
in
sacrificing
themselves
,
saving
their
fatherland
,
or
weeping
over
its
downfall
.
The
tales
and
descriptions
of
that
time
without
exception
speak
only
of
the
self-sacrifice
,
patriotic
devotion
,
despair
,
grief
,
and
the
heroism
of
the
Russians
.
But
it
was
not
really
so
.
It
appears
so
to
us
because
we
see
only
the
general
historic
interest
of
that
time
and
do
not
see
all
the
personal
human
interests
that
people
had
.
Yet
in
reality
those
personal
interests
of
the
moment
so
much
transcend
the
general
interests
that
they
always
prevent
the
public
interest
from
being
felt
or
even
noticed
.
Most
of
the
people
at
that
time
paid
no
attention
to
the
general
progress
of
events
but
were
guided
only
by
their
private
interests
,
and
they
were
the
very
people
whose
activities
at
that
period
were
most
useful
.
Those
who
tried
to
understand
the
general
course
of
events
and
to
take
part
in
it
by
self-sacrifice
and
heroism
were
the
most
useless
members
of
society
,
they
saw
everything
upside
down
,
and
all
they
did
for
the
common
good
turned
out
to
be
useless
and
foolish
--
like
Pierre
's
and
Mamónov
's
regiments
which
looted
Russian
villages
,
and
the
lint
the
young
ladies
prepared
and
that
never
reached
the
wounded
,
and
so
on
.
Even
those
,
fond
of
intellectual
talk
and
of
expressing
their
feelings
,
who
discussed
Russia
's
position
at
the
time
involuntarily
introduced
into
their
conversation
either
a
shade
of
pretense
and
falsehood
or
useless
condemnation
and
anger
directed
against
people
accused
of
actions
no
one
could
possibly
be
guilty
of
.
In
historic
events
the
rule
forbidding
us
to
eat
of
the
fruit
of
the
Tree
of
Knowledge
is
specially
applicable
.
Only
unconscious
action
bears
fruit
,
and
he
who
plays
a
part
in
an
historic
event
never
understands
its
significance
.
If
he
tries
to
realize
it
his
efforts
are
fruitless
.
