"Do not think you can frighten me by telling me that I am alone.
France is alone; and God is alone; and what is my loneliness before the loneliness of my country and my God?
I see now that the Loneliness of God is His Strength: what would He be if He listened to your jealous little counsels?
Well, my loneliness shall be my strength too; it is better to be alone with God: His friendship will not fail me, nor His counsel, nor His love.
In His Strength I Will Dare, and Dare,
and Dare, Until I die.
I will go out now to the Common People, and let the love in their eyes comfort me for the hate in yours."
