About the Book

La Convention
Victor Hugo

  • Nous approchons de la grande cime. Voici la Convention. Le regard devient fixe en présence de ce sommet. Jamais rien de plus haut n'est apparu sur l'horizon des hommes. Il y a l'Himalaya et il y a la Convention.
  • La Convention est peutètre le point culminant de l'histoire. Du vivant de la Convention, car cela vit, une assemblée, on ne se rendait pas compte de ce qu'elle était. Ce qui échappait aux contemporains, c'était précisément sa grandeur; on était trop effrayé pour être ébloui. Tout ce qui est grand a une horreur sacrée.
  • Admirer les médiocres et les collines, c'est aisé; mais ce qui est trop haut, un génie aussi bien qu'une montagne, une assemblée aussi bien qu'un chefd'uvre, vus de trop près, épouvantent. Toute cime semble une exagération. Gravir fatigue. On s'essouffle aux escarpements, ou glisse sur les pentes, on se blesse à des aspérités qui sont des beautés; les torrents, en écumant, dénoncent les précipices, les nuages cachent les sommets; l'ascension terrifie autant que la chute. De là plus d'effroi que d'admiration.
  • On éprouve ce sentiment bizarre, l'aversion du grand. On voit les abîmes, on ne voit pas les sublimités; on voit le monstre, on ne voit pas le prodige. Ainsi fut d'abord jugée La Convention. La Convention fut toisée par les myopes, elle, faite pour être contemplée par les aigles.
  • Aujourd'hui elle est en perspective, et elle dessine sur le ciel profond, dans un lointain serein et tragique, l'immense profil de la révolution française. Le juillet avait délivré. Le août avait foudroyé. Le septembre fonda. Le septembre, l'équinoxe, l'équilibre. Libra. La balance. Ce fut, suivant la remarque de Romme, sous ce signe de l'Égalité et de la Justice que la république fut proclamée. Une constellation fit l'annonce.
  • La Convention est le premier avatar du peuple. C'est par la Convention que s'ouvrit la grande page nouvelle et que l'avenir d'aujourd'hui commença. A toute idée il faut une enveloppe visible, à tout principe il faut une habitation; une église, c'est Dieu entre quatre murs, à tout dogme il faut un temple. Quand la Convention fut, il y eut un dernier problème à résoudre, loger la Convention. On prit d'abord le Manège, puis les Tuileries. On y dressa un châssis, un décor, une grande grisaille peinte par David, des bancs symétriques, une tribune carrée, des pilastres parallèles, des socles pareils à des billots, de longues étraves rectilignes, des alvéoles rectangulaire où se pressait la multitude et qu'on appelait les tribunes publiques, un velarium romain, des draperies grecques, et dans ces angles droits et dans ces lignes droites on installa la Convention: dans cette géométrie on mit la tempête.
  • Sur la tribune le bonnet rouge était peint en gris. Les royalistes commencèrent par rire de ce bonnet rouge gris, de cette salle postiche, de ce monument de carton, de ce sanctuaire de papier mâché, de ce panthéon de boue et de crachat. Comme cela devait, disparaître vite! Les colonnes étaient en douves de tonneau, les voûtes étaient en volige, les basreliefs étaient en mastic, les entablements étaient en sapin, les statues étaient en plâtre, les marbres étaient en peinture, les murailles étaient en toile; et dans ce provis
