[Robespierre]
Brissot. Vergniaud. Buzot. Condorcet. Roland. Roland, and Brissot again. In his dreams they wait, laughing, to catch him in a net. And Danton will not act...
These are the conspirators: why, he asked (since he is a reasonable man), does he fear conspiracy where no one else does?
And answered, well, I fear because I have past cause to fear. And these are the conspirators within: the heart that flutters, the head that aches, the gut that won't digest, and eyes that, increasingly, cannot bear bright sunlight. Behind them is the master conspirator, the occult part of the mind; nightmares wake him at half-past four, and then there is nothing to do but lie in a hopeless parody of sleep until the days begins.
To what end is the inner man conspiring? To take a night off and read a novel? To have more friends, to be liked a bit more? But people said, have you seen Robespierre has taken to those tinted spectacles? It certainly gives him a sinister air.
