Description
Down the street came a parade of children; they were beating a small
keg for a drum and playing homemade flutes. And on the ends of improvised pikes,
they bore the heads of three cats, still dripping blood. After witnessing the
continuing spectacle of human heads being daily paraded through Parisian
streets, the French children had become little monsters. Paris was so filled
with hatred for everyone and everything that reason, itself, stood decapitated.
So during the French Revolution, Parisians and their society sank into abject
depravity. This was the society that Jean Paul Marin, who at the age of twenty,
was beaten and imprisoned by the noble class and by the age of twenty five
helped create the inhumane society required for the great bloodletting of the
Napoleonic wars. Thus the French Revolution destroys all it intended to
save.
