Chapter LXXXVIII
There exists a very respectable liberal school which does not hate Waterloo. We do not belong to it. To us, Waterloo is but the stupefied date of liberty. That such an eagle should emerge from such an egg is certainly unexpected. If one places one’s self at the culminating point of view of the question, Waterloo is intentionally a counter-revolutionary victory.
