Les Misérables
Fantine, Book III, Ch I
Traitors showed themselves openly, stripped even of hypocrisy; men who had gone over to the enemy on the eve of a battle, made no secret of their bribes and shamelessly walked abroad in daylight in the cynicism of wealth and honor; … brazen in their purchased shame, nakedly, exposed their devotion to monarchy.
Thanks to my fellow reader for the graphic….
I remember reading this in 2020 and daily being both sick to my stomach and wanting to SCREAM and thus here we are in 2025 all over again but so much worse. It is scary as hell. That is it for me today.
