I vehemently disagree with this post...the real story is King Louis was in his dressing quarters after taking the royal bath and he called out to his valet.."my robes, Pierre..."...well, ol' Pierre was in the antechamber engaged in flagrante delicto with Marie Antoinette...an indiscretion which eventually led him to lose his head over the affair.
and then, Pierre's lackey, Saint-Lust began publically acting like a damned cut rate 17th century version of Hedley LaMarr by uttering these bon mots..
“The vessel of the Revolution can arrive in port only on a sea reddened with torrents of blood,” .... “You have to punish not only the traitors, but even those who are indifferent; you have to punish whoever is passive in the republic, and who does nothing for it.”
Contrast this insipid, cut rate ripoff of the genuine article with this piece of truly inspired rhetoric...
"My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives."...."My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention. "
Case...CLOSED!...
