leisure we slipped out from among the ranks of the procession, climbed the stairs, went out, and walked down the Boulevard Saint-Michel toward the river... and we began looking over the books in the shop windows... and the artistic prints. And as we were going down the Boulevard Saint-Michel, Gibran began to speak of the great writers and the role they play in the renaissances of their countries, until he said: Voltaire and Rousseau were the brain of France at the end of the eighteenth century; no wonder they lie beneath the dome of the Panthéon.

So I asked him:

— But do you know what King Louis XVI used to say about them?

— Do you mean that Bourbon whom the men of the Revolution brought to the guillotine?

— Yes, the very one! When he was in the Temple prison, he saw near the Palace of Justice some of the books of Voltaire and Rousseau, and he showed his disgust, saying: — These two men destroyed France — he meant the Bourbon monarchy!.. And destroy it they did!!

— Napoleon too used to say: — Had the Bourbons kept a watchful eye on the literary movement and its output, their star would not have set... Rousseau and Voltaire were not great, but their contem-poraries were small!...

— That is true! said Gibran; but what is beyond doubt is that books have their influence in shaping the life of peoples, and men of letters and thinkers spur the people on

to think... With Voltaire and Rousseau, France began to think... even Napoleon could not stop her from thinking... When, I wonder, will this miracle happen in the East? When, and with whom, will the East begin to think?...

— With Gibran!.. I answered with fervor and faith; but Gibran stared into my face and imagined that I was only mocking him, so

he raised his head and affirmed in a loud tone: —

— Yes, with Gibran the East will begin to think!... And I completed:

— And his countrymen will raise him a Panthéon, high, high!

And we had reached the banks of the Seine, where the books lie displayed in boxes all along the quay!
