This remarkable epoch is decidedly circumscribed and is beginning to be sufficiently distant from us to allow of our grasping the principal lines even at the present day. THIS REMARKABLE EPOCH IS DECIDEDLY CIRCUMSCRIBED AND IS BEGINNING TO BE SUFFICIENTLY DISTANT FROM US TO ALLOW OF OUR GRASPING THE PRINCIPAL LINES EVEN AT THE PRESENT DAY
] VOLUME IV SAINT-DENIS [Illustration: Frontispiece Volume Four] [Illustration: Titlepage Volume Four] THE IDYL IN THE RUE PLUMET AND THE EPIC IN THE RUE SAINT-DENIS BOOK FIRST—A FEW PAGES OF HISTORY CHAPTER I—WELL CUT 1831 and 1832, the two years which are immediately connected with the Revolution of July, form one of the most peculiar and striking moments of history. These two years rise like two mountains midway between those which precede and those which follow them. They have a revolutionary grandeur. Precipices are to be distinguished there. The social masses, the very assizes of civilization, the solid group of superposed and adhering interests, the century-old profiles of the ancient French formation, appear and disappear in them every instant, athwart the storm clouds of systems, of passions, and of theories. These appearances and disappearances have been designated as movement and resistance. At intervals, truth, that daylight of the human soul, can be descried shining there.
