... She governs, but she does not reign
There are crosses for all shoulders (Would I be happy in France?)
She no longer had any hope left in her heart or distinguished between life and death (Princess Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte)
Sorrow had blanched the Queen's once beautiful hair; but her features and air still commanded the admiration of all who beheld her...
Her cheeks, pale and emaciated, were occasionally tinged with a vivid colour at the mention of those she had lost.
"Courage! I have shown it for years; think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?"
"The moment when my troubles are going to end is not the moment when my courage is going to fail me."
MARIE ANTOINETTE
