we regret to inform you cardinal tremblay is sick… sick as HELL

in the silent era of horror, the word "horror" began to be used as a generic signation, and more often instead used was the words "weird" and "mythical and mysterious." this is a time when adaptions were so rapidly made like frankenstein and edgar allan poe's works dominated this era. horror as a genre wasn't specifically "created" or the word wasn't used until dracula in the 1930s.

The only torment of the righteous at their final hour And the only one by which I will be torn apart Is to see, in dying, pale and dark envy Drip onto my brow both disgrace and infamy To die for the people and be by them abhorred.

(Maximilien Robespierre. What he feared, came to pass)

About the poem:

The poem in question was published in the memoirs of Maximilien Robespierre's sister, Charlotte. According to her: "A single fear tormented him, it was that the wicked, after having assassinated him, would pour calumny upon him.” Charlotte further claims that: “ On this subject, he composed some verses of which I only recall the following five.”

However, it's important to approach this account with caution. Both Charlotte and the editor of her memoirs, Albert Laponneraye, had a clear motive: they aimed to restore the reputations of the Robespierre brothers. This intention likely influenced their portrayal of events and characters, casting them in an overly favorable light.

That being said, the older Robespierre was quite an apt poet. It’s also not a stretch that he was acutely aware the end was near. Taking this into account, it’s not far fetched that he would have written the five verses Charlotte remembered. And if not? Well it means Charlotte is pretty good at writing fanfiction, I suppose…
