Remains from the Cemetery of St. Nicolas des Champs, placed here August 24,
1804.
"Your mortal existence was brief and adverse.
The blind masses accuse you of excess desire,
Babble about a thousand frivolous objects,
And refuse you even the homage of a thought.
But vegetating with the mistake they completely
Die, a thousand times better still their fate."

Go back to Gilbert's Tomb.
Examine the map.
Move on to the Bones of August 1792.
