But the silent fidelity of this obscure woman is a voice that thunders down the long aisles of time.

A thousand times hath she encouraged heroism in poet and parent.

Ten thousand times hath she been an inspiration to reformers and martyrs! Love and fidelity have embalmed her deed and lent her immortality.

In the very center of the world's civilization stands her monument.

For her Arc de Triomphe has been built in the human heart.
