Cardinal de Richelieu
Price, Eleanor C. (Eleanor Catherine)
France -- History -- Louis XIII, 1610-1643; Richelieu, Armand Jean du Plessis, duc de, 1585-1642
Cardinal de Richelieu’s noblest monument in Paris is his stately
building of the Sorbonne. His resting-place in the crypt of its Church
was disturbed in the Revolution, and his bones were scattered, but
his embalmed face-mask was preserved by reverent hands and ultimately
replaced in his tomb. The Church is no longer used for worship; but
Armand de Richelieu still reclines there in marble peace. His eyes are
raised to the heaven in which he certainly believed. He is supported
in his mortal weakness by Religion, holding the book he wrote, when
Bishop of Luçon, in defence of the Catholic Faith; and Science--in the
likeness of his beloved niece, Madame d’Aiguillon--lies mourning at his
feet.
