Book Description
Excerpt from Queen Hortense: A Life Picture of the Napoleonic Era Yet, despite all these sorrows and discouragements, Hortensia had the mental strength not to hate her fellow beings, but, on the contrary, to teach her children to love them and do good to them. The heart of the dethroned queen bled from a thousand wounds, but she did not allow these wounds to stiffen into callousness, nor her heart to harden under the broad scars of sorrow that had ceased to bleed. She cherished her bereavements and her wounds, and kept them open with her tears; but, even while she suffered measureless woes, it solaced her heart to relieve the woes and dry the tears of others. Thus was her life a constant charity; and when she died she could, like the Empress Josephine, say of herself, I have wept much, but never have I made others weep.
