Keversau Narrative Paper

My mind was filled with the darkest presentiments and every stage on my way to Paris seemed to bring me nearer to the scaffold. As I thought of my wife and my children, I reproached myself for having left them so rashly and for not having embraced them yet once more before we parted. During the whole journey the sight of a rock, an agreeable bit of landscape or a tree noticed by the wayside stamped on my mind a melancholy impress, which I cannot describe. I cherished a wish to see them again on my way back, saying to myself; “If I see them again, that will mean that I have got out of Paris, and if I get out of Paris I shall see my wife and children once more.” ”
